To find the acceleration of the ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force equals mass times acceleration (F = ma).
Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration, we have:
a = F/m
Substituting the given values, we have:
a = 0.90 N / 0.350 kg
Evaluating this expression, we find:
a = 2.57 m/s^2
Therefore, the correct answer is not among the given options.
