The force exerted by your hand on the ball can be calculated using Newton's second law:
Force = mass x acceleration
Given that the mass of the ball is 0.06 kg and the acceleration is 13.7 m/s^2, we can substitute these values into the equation to find the force:
Force = 0.06 kg x 13.7 m/s^2
Force = 0.822 N
Therefore, the force exerted by your hand on the ball is approximately 0.822 N.
