Question

a man hits a golf ball (0.2kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20 m/s/s . what amount of force acted on the ball

Answer 1

Answer:

4 N

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.2 × 20

We have the final answer as

4 N

Hope this helps you

Answer 2

Answer:

The ball only accelerates during the brief time that the club is in contact

with it. After it leaves the club face, it takes off at a constant speed.

If it accelerates at 20 m/s² during the hit, then

  Force = (mass) x (acceleration) = (0.2kg) x (20 m/s²) = 4 newtons .
