Answer:
Option B. 300 m/s².
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Mass (m) of student = 100 Kg
Mass (m) of ball = 1.5 Kg
Force (F) applied on the ball = 450 N
Acceleration (a) of ball =?
From Newton's 2nd law,
F = ma
Where
F => Force applied
m => mass of object
a => acceleration of object.
With the above formula, we can obtain the acceleration of the ball as follow:
Mass (m) of ball = 1.5 Kg
Force (F) applied on the ball = 450 N
Acceleration (a) of ball =?
F = ma
450 = 1.5 × a
Divide both side by 1.5
a = 450 / 1.5
a = 300 m/s²
Therefore, the acceleration of the ball is 300 m/s²
