Question

What is the acceleration of a ball with a mass of 0.40 kg is hit with a force of 16N

Answer 1

According to the second Newton's law, the acceleration is given as follows:

$$a = \dfrac{F}{m}$$

where $F = 16N$ is the force applied to the ball, and $m = 0.4kg$ is the mass of the ball. Thus, obtain:

$$a = \dfrac{16N}{0.4kg} = 40m/s^2$$

Answer. $40m/s^2$.
