Question

What is the acceleration of softball if it has a mass of 5 kg and hits the catchers glove with a force of 35 N

Answer 1

Answer:

50m/s2^

Explanation:

We know , by newton's law of motion .

F=ma

a=f/m

a=25/0.5

a=50m/s2^

Therefore , the acceleration of a softball is  .

Answer 2

Answer:

7 m/s²

Explanation: Force = Mass x acceleration  

Also note that 1 N = 1 kg.m/s²

a=F/ m

a= 35 N/ 5 kg = 35 kg.m/ s²  ÷  kg                 Aside:( so you cross out the kg)

a= 7 m/s²
