By definition, we have to:
[tex] F = m * a
[/tex]
Where,
F: force [N]
m: mass of the object [Kg]
a: acceleration of the object [m / s ^ 2]
Clearing the acceleration we have:
[tex] a = \frac{F}{m}
[/tex]
Substituting values we have:
[tex] a = \frac{18400}{0.145}
a = 126896.5517
[/tex]
Rounding the nearest whole we have:
[tex] a = 126897 \frac{m}{s^2}
[/tex]
Answer:
the acceleration of the ball is:
[tex] a = 126897 \frac{m}{s^2} [/tex]
