What acceleration is imparted to a football when the player kicked it with a force of 25 N? Mass of a football = 0.40 kg.
F = ma, so
0.40a = 25
To find the acceleration imparted to the football, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. The formula is:
acceleration (a) = net force (F) / mass (m)
In this case, the net force acting on the football is the force with which the player kicks it, which is 25 N. The mass of the football is 0.40 kg.
Plugging these values into the formula:
acceleration (a) = 25 N / 0.40 kg
Calculating the result:
acceleration (a) = 62.5 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration imparted to the football when the player kicks it with a force of 25 N is 62.5 m/s^2.
