A student kicks a 2 kg soccer ball with a force of 50 N. Calculate the acceleration of the soccer ball. Please show your work.(2 points)
Given:
Mass of soccer ball (m) = 2 kg
Force applied (F) = 50 N
To calculate acceleration (a), we can use the formula:
F = ma
Rearranging the formula to solve for acceleration:
a = F / m
Plugging in the values:
a = 50 N / 2 kg
a = 25 m/s^2
Therefore, the acceleration of the soccer ball is 25 m/s^2.
