Answers
GPT 3.5
To calculate the acceleration of the soccer ball, we can use Newton's Second Law of Motion:
Force = mass x acceleration
Given:
Force = 50 N
Mass = 2 kg
Plugging in the values:
50 N = 2 kg x acceleration
To find the acceleration, divide both sides by the mass:
acceleration = 50 N / 2 kg
acceleration = 25 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the soccer ball is 25 m/s^2.
Force = mass x acceleration
Given:
Force = 50 N
Mass = 2 kg
Plugging in the values:
50 N = 2 kg x acceleration
To find the acceleration, divide both sides by the mass:
acceleration = 50 N / 2 kg
acceleration = 25 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the soccer ball is 25 m/s^2.
