A force of 100N was used to kick a football of mass 0.8kg. Find the velocity with which the ball moves if it takes 0.8s to be kicked

A
\(32ms^{-1} \)
B
\(50ms^{-1} \)
C
\(64ms^{-1} \)
D
\(100ms^{-1} \)
Ask EduPadi AI for a Detailed Answer
Correct Option: D

From Newton's second law:

( F = \frac{mV - mµ}{t} )

Let the final velocity = V; and since the football is initially at rest, its initial vel µ = 0, M = 0.8kg

( t = 0.8s \

\implies 100 = \frac{0.8V - 0.8 \times 0}{0.8} \

\text{Therefore } V = \frac{100 \times 0.8}{0.8} = 100ms^{-1} )
