Question

A football player kicks a ball with a mass of 0.42 kg. The average acceleration of the football was 14.8 m/s².

How much force did the kicker supply to the football?

A.
6.22 m/s²

B.
35.24 m/s²

C.
35.24 N

D.
6.22 N

Answer 1

D.6.22N. because .42kg * 14.8m/s=6.22 N[meaning newtons}.

Answer 2

Explanation:

The correct answer is: (Option D) 6.22 N

Explanation:

By using the Newton's second law:

F = m*a --- (A)

F = Force = ?

m = mass = 0.42 kg

a = acceleration = 14.8 $\frac{m}{s^2}$

Plug the values in equation (A):

F  = 0.42 * 14.8

F = 6.216 N

$F \approx 6.22 N$ (Option D)
