Verified Answer :

In physics, force is equal to mass multiplied to acceleration. We are given that the mass is 0.25 kg and the force is 20 N.

F = ma
20 N = 0.25 kg  a
20 kg
m/s^2 = 0.25 kg * a
a = 20/0.25
a = 80 m/s^2

So the acceleration of the ball is 80 m/s^2.

Answer: The acceleration of the ball is \(80 m/s^2\)

Explanation:

Mass of the ball  = 0.25 kg

Force applied on the ball = 20 Newtons

Force=mass \(\times\) acceleration

\(acceleration=\frac{force}{mass}=\frac{20 Newtons}{0.25 kg}=80m/s^2\)

Hence,the acceleration of the ball is \(80 m/s^2\)
