To calculate the force needed, we use Newton's second law of motion:
Force (F) = Mass (m) x Acceleration (a)
Let's break it down:
* Force (F): This is what we want to find.
* Mass (m): You need to tell me the mass of the ball (e.g., 1 kg, 2 kg, etc.).
* Acceleration (a): You've provided this as 1 m/s².
Example:
Let's say the ball has a mass of 2 kg. Then the force needed would be:
F = 2 kg * 1 m/s² = 2 Newtons (N)
To get the answer, you need to provide the mass of the ball!
