If Tom kicks a 0.350 kg soccer ball with 0.90 N of force, what is the acceleration of the ball?
F= ma
a
0.32 m/s2
b
0.003 m/s2
c
315 m/s2
d
3.15 m/s2
e
2.6 m/s2
f
388.9 m/s2
To determine the acceleration of the ball, we can rearrange the equation F = ma to solve for a:
a = F/m
Plugging in the given values:
a = 0.90 N / 0.350 kg
a ≈ 2.57 m/s²
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the acceleration of the ball is 2.6 m/s². Therefore, the correct answer is e).
