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

$F = ma$ (where $F$ is force, $m$ is mass, $a$ is acceleration).

Step2: Solve for acceleration

$a=\frac{F}{m}$. Given $F = 0.5\ N$ and $m=0.25\ kg$, then $a=\frac{0.5}{0.25}$.

Step3: Calculate the value of acceleration

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

Answer:

$2$
