Question

during a game of handball, you strike the ball with a mass of .06 kg, and it accelerates to the left at a rate of 13.7 m/s². what force did your hand exert on the ball? (1 point)
0.82 n
228 n
13.76 n
13.64 n

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the formula

Use Newton's second - law $F = ma$.

Step2: Substitute values

$m = 0.06\ kg$, $a=13.7\ m/s^{2}$, so $F=(0.06\ kg)\times(13.7\ m/s^{2})$.

Step3: Calculate the force

$F = 0.822\ N\approx0.82\ N$.

Answer:

0.82 N
