A baseball player throws a ball. While the 700.0-g ball is in the pitchers hand, there os a force of 125N in it. What is the accerleration of the ball?

F=ma

125N=.7*a solve for a.

is that the correct answer?

i need the answer not the equation???

Sorry. Why would any teacher give the answer to a student? Goodness.

To find the acceleration of the ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = m * a).

Given:
Force (F) = 125 N
Mass (m) = 700.0 g = 0.7 kg (since 1 kg = 1000 g)

Now we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for acceleration (a):

F = m * a
125 N = 0.7 kg * a

To find the acceleration, divide both sides of the equation by the mass:

a = F / m
a = 125 N / 0.7 kg

Calculating this division gives us:

a ≈ 178.57 m/s² (rounded to two decimal places)

So, the acceleration of the ball is approximately 178.57 m/s².
