    Answer:

    a) a = 2.35 m/s^2

    Explanation:

    (a) In order to calculate the magnitude of the acceleration of the ball, you use the following formula, for the position of the ball:

    x=v_ot+\frac{1}{2}at^2     (1)

    x: position of the ball after t seconds = 87 m

    t: time  = 8.6 s

    a: acceleration of the ball = ?

    vo: initial velocity of the ball = 0 m/s

    You solve the equation (1) for a:

    x=0+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\\a=\frac{2x}{t^2}

    You replace the values of the parameters in the previous equation:

    a=\frac{2(87m)}{(8.6s)^2}=2.35\frac{m}{s^2}

    The acceleration of the ball is 2.35 m/s^2
