Answer:
To find the new acceleration when the force is doubled, you can use Newton's second law of motion:
\[
F = ma
\]
Where:
- \( F \) is the force applied to the ball.
- \( m \) is the mass of the ball.
- \( a \) is the acceleration.
If you double the force \( F \) by 24 N and the mass \( m \) remains the same, the acceleration \( a \) will also double because \( a \) is directly proportional to \( F \).
So, if the original force was \( F_1 \) and resulted in an acceleration \( a_1 \), the new force \( F_2 \) is:
\[
F_2 = 2F_1 = 2ma_1
\]
This gives the new acceleration \( a_2 \) as:
\[
a_2 = \frac{F_2}{m} = \frac{2ma_1}{m} = 2a_1
\]
So, the acceleration will also double. If you know the original acceleration \( a_1 \), you can calculate the new acceleration \( a_2 \). Without the original acceleration, the exact value can't be determined, but it will be twice the original acceleration.
