Answer:

7.5N

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of the ball  = 0.5kg

Acceleration  = 15m/s²

Unknown:

Force exerted by the kicker = ?

Solution:

To know the force exerted by the kicker, we use the mathematical expression below:

 Force  = mass x acceleration

This is based on Newton's second law of motion;

Now insert the parameters and solve;

  Force  = 0.5 x 15  = 7.5N
