To calculate the acceleration of the soccer ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is equal to the net force acting on it divided by its mass.
Given:
Mass of soccer ball (m) = 2 kg
Force applied (F) = 50 N
Acceleration (a) = F / m
Plugging in the values:
a = 50 N / 2 kg
a = 25 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the soccer ball is 25 m/s^2.
A student kicks a 2 kg soccer ball with a force of 50 and calculate the acceleration of the soccer ball. Please show your work.
