List the given information from the problem.
Mass of the ball is 0.5 kg
Force that the ball is kicked is 40 N.
The unknown variable is to find the resulting acceleration of the ball, given the information above. Thus, the unknown variable is acceleration a. To obtain the acceleration a, divide mass m from force F.

The unknown variable is to find the resulting acceleration of the ball, given the information above. Thus, the unknown variable is acceleration a. To obtain the acceleration a, divide mass m from force F.     To obtain the acceleration of the ball, substitute 0.5 kg for mass and 40 N for force in the equation below.    The acceleration of the ball is 80 m/s 2. To obtain the acceleration of the ball, substitute 0.5 kg for mass and 40 N for force in the equation below.
