To find the force exerted by your hand on the ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to the mass (m) of an object multiplied by its acceleration (a).
Given:
mass of ball (m) = 0.06 kg
acceleration of ball (a) = -13.7 m/s² (negative because the ball is accelerating to the left)
Using the formula: F = m * a, we can substitute the values:
F = 0.06 kg * (-13.7 m/s²)
F = -0.822 N
The force exerted by your hand on the ball is approximately -0.822 Newtons. The negative sign indicates that the force is acting in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball (to the right).
During a game of handball you strike the ball with a mass of 06 kg and it accelerates to the left at the rate of 13.7 m/s2 what force did your hand exert on the ball
