To find the force exerted on the ball, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that:
\[ F = m \cdot a \]
where:
- \( F \) is the force,
- \( m \) is the mass, and
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
Given:
- Mass of the ball \( m = 0.06 , \text{kg} \)
- Acceleration \( a = 13.7 , \text{m/s}^2 \)
Now, plug in the values:
\[ F = 0.06 , \text{kg} \cdot 13.7 , \text{m/s}^2 \]
\[ F = 0.822 , \text{N} \]
Therefore, the force exerted on the ball is 0.822 Newtons to the left.
