A ball weighing 1000 g moves with an acceleration of 0.5 m / s2, determine the force acting on the ball.

m = 1000 g = 1 kg.
a = 0.5 m / s ^ 2.
F -?
Let’s use 2 Newton’s law, According to which: the force F, which acts on the body, is equal to the product of the body’s mass m by its acceleration a: F = m * a.
F = 1 kg * 0.5 m / s ^ 2 = 0.5 N.
Answer: a force F = 0.5 N. acts on the ball.
