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 two significant figures, the acceleration of the ball is approximately 2.6 m/s^2.
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 2.6 m/s^2.
