Question

A basketball with a mass of 1.5 kg is thrown with a force of 21 N at an angle of 60 degrees above the horizontal. What is the vertical acceleration caused by this force? (1 point)

a) 10.56 m/s^2 upwards
b) 12.12 m/s^2 upwards
c) 12.2 m/s^2 downwards
d) 9.91 m/s^2 downward

Answer 1

b) 12.12 m/s² upwards

Step-by-step explanation:

∑F = ma

21 sin 60° N = (1.5 kg) a

a = 12.12 m/s²
