a cricket ball of mass 0.2kg moving with a velocity of 0.4second. find the average force.

To find the average force on the cricket ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration.

1. Given:
- Mass of the cricket ball (m) = 0.2 kg
- Velocity of the cricket ball (v) = 0.4 seconds

2. We need to find the acceleration of the cricket ball using the formula:
- Acceleration (a) = Change in velocity (Δv) / Time (t)

Since we only have the initial velocity (0 m/s) and the time (0.4 seconds), we assume that the cricket ball starts from rest (initial velocity = 0 m/s).

- Acceleration (a) = Change in velocity (0.4 m/s) / Time (0.4 seconds)
- Acceleration (a) = 1 m/s^2

3. Now that we have the acceleration, we can calculate the average force using the formula:
- Force (F) = Mass (m) × Acceleration (a)

- Force (F) = 0.2 kg × 1 m/s^2
- Force (F) = 0.2 N

Therefore, the average force acting on the cricket ball is 0.2 Newtons.
