Question

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
3.15 m/s2

c
2.6 m/s2

d
0.003 m/s2

e
315 m/s2

f
388.9 m/s2

Answer 1

[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

To find the acceleration of the ball, we can rearrange the formula 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/s^2

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the acceleration of the ball is approximately 2.6 m/s^2.

Therefore, the correct answer is c) 2.6 m/s^2.
