At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of a player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball's acceleration is 860 m/s2 and the vertical or y component of its acceleration is 1030 m/s2. The ball's mass is 0.38 kg. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the soccer ball at this instant?

Force=mass*Ax + mass(Ay)

where Ax, Ay are acceleration vectors in x,y directions.

Magnitudeforce= sqrt(Forcex^2 + Forcey^2)

To find the magnitude of the net force acting on the soccer ball, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that the net force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.

We are given the components of acceleration in the x and y directions, as well as the mass of the ball. Let's calculate the magnitude of the net force:

1. Calculate the magnitude of the acceleration:
- The magnitude of the acceleration can be found using the Pythagorean theorem:
magnitude of acceleration = √(acceleration in x direction)^2 + (acceleration in y direction)^2
- Plugging in the given values:
magnitude of acceleration = √(860^2 + 1030^2) m/s²

2. Substitute the magnitude of the acceleration and the mass of the ball into Newton's second law of motion:
net force = mass * magnitude of acceleration
net force = 0.38 kg * magnitude of acceleration

Now, plug in the magnitude of acceleration we calculated in step 1 to find the net force acting on the ball.
