Understanding the Concepts

* Newton's Second Law of Motion: This law states that the force (F) acting on an object is equal to its mass (m) multiplied by its acceleration (a). Mathematically: F = m * a

Calculation

1. Identify the given values:

* Mass (m) = 6 kg

* Acceleration (a) = 4 m/s²

2. Apply Newton's Second Law:

* F = m * a

* F = 6 kg * 4 m/s²

* F = 24 N (Newtons)

Answer: A force of 24 Newtons would be required to provide an acceleration of 4 m/s² to a 6 kg ball.
