How much force is needed to accelarate a 25kg bowling ball?

[We changed the acceleration from 4 miles per second squared to 4 meters per second squared to make it more realistic. At 4 miles per second squared, it would be moving faster than it would have if it had been shot out of a cannon. A lot faster.] Force (f) = mass (m) times acceleration (a) f = 8 kg times 4 m / sec2 32 kilogram meters / sec2 As 1 kg m / sec2 = 1 Newton, 32 kg m / sec2 = 32 Newtons
