Calculate the force required to accelerate
a 600 g ball from rest to 14 m/s in 0.1 s.

Statement:

A force is required to accelerate a 600 g ball from rest to 14 m/s in 0.1 s.

To find out:

The force required to accelerate the ball.

Solution:

  • Mass of the ball (m) = 600 g = 0.6 Kg
  • Initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s [it was at rest]
  • Final velocity (v) = 14 m/s
  • Time (t) = 0.1 s

  • Let the acceleration be a.
  • We know the equation of motion,
  • v = u + at

  • Therefore, putting the values in the above formula, we get
  • 14 m/s = 0 m/s + a × 0.1 s
  • or, 14 m/s ÷ 0.1 s = a
  • or, a = 140 m/s²

  • Let the force be F.
  • We know, the formula : F = ma

  • Putting the values in the above formula, we get
  • F = 0.6 Kg × 140 m/s²
  • or, F = 84 N

Answer:

The force required to accelerate the ball is 84 N and this force acts along the direction of motion.
