Suppose you hit a 0.058-kg tennis ball so that the ball then moves with an acceleration of 10 m/s2. If you were to hit a basketball of mass 0.58 kg with the same force, what would the acceleration a of the basketball be?

    1 m/s²

    Explanation:

    Force = mass * acceleration

    F = ma ... Equation 1

    Where F = force, m = mass, a = acceleration.

    Given: m = 0.058 kg, a = 10 m/s²

    Substitute into equation 1

    F = 0.058 (10)

    F = 0.58 N.

    If the same force was used to hit the baseball,

    F = m'a

    a = F/m' ... Equation 2

    Where M' = mass of the baseball.

    Given: F = 0.58 N, m' = 0.58 kg.

    Substitute into equation 2

    a = 0.58/0.58

    a = 1 m/s²

    1 m/s^2.

    Explanation:

    Note:

    Force = mass x acceleration.

    Given:

    mass = 0.058 kg

    acceleration = 10 m/s2

    Therefore, force = 0.058 x 10

    = 0.58 N.

    Since the same force is to be used, this same value is used for the other condition.

    mass = 0.58 kg

    Force = 0.58 N

    F = m * a

    a = 0.58/0.58

    = 1 m/s^2.
