A baseball has an approximate mass of 0.15 kg. If a bat strikes the baseball with a force of 6 N, what is the acceleration of the ball?

a = 40 [m/s²]

Explanation:

These kinds of problems can be solved using Newton's second law, which tells us that the sum of forces on a body is equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

∑F = m*a

where:

F = force = 6 [N]

m = mass = 0.15 [kg]

a = acceleration [m/s²]
