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

Verified Answer :

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

Explanation:

The correct answer is: (Option D) 6.22 N

Explanation:

By using the Newton's second law:

F = ma --- (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)
