A student kicks a 2kg soccer ball with a force of 50 n calculate the acceleration of the soccer ball

1 answer

To calculate the acceleration of the soccer ball, we must first determine the net force acting on the ball.

Given:
Mass of the soccer ball (m) = 2 kg
Force applied to the soccer ball (F) = 50 N

Next, we calculate the acceleration (a) using the formula:

a = F / m
a = 50 N / 2 kg
a = 25 m/s^2

Therefore, the acceleration of the soccer ball is 25 m/s^2.
