During a game of handball, you strike the ball with a mass of 0.05 kg, and it accelerates to the left at a rate of 14 m/s 2 What force did your hand exert on the ball? (1 point)
A. 0.7 N
B. 13.95 N
The force can be calculated using Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) is equal to mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a). Therefore, the force exerted by your hand on the ball is:
F = m * a
F = 0.05 kg * 14 m/s^2
F = 0.7 N
So, the correct answer is A. 0.7 N.
