Question

if siobhan hits a 0.25 kg volleyball with 0.5 n of force, what is the acceleration of the ball? m/s²

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Newton's second law

$F = ma$

Step2: Rearrange for acceleration

$a = \frac{F}{m}$

Step3: Substitute given values

$a = \frac{0.5\ \text{N}}{0.25\ \text{kg}}$

Step4: Calculate acceleration

$a = 2\ \text{m/s}^2$

Answer:

$2$
