At an instant when a soccer ball is in contact with the foot of a player kicking it, the horizontal or x component of the ball's acceleration is 765 m/s2 and the vertical or y component of its acceleration is 1040 m/s2. The ball's mass is 0.38 kg. What is the magnitude of the net force acting on the soccer ball at this instant?

Net force
= mass x net acceleration
= (0.38) * √[(765)^2 + (1040)^2] N
= 490.6 N.
= mass x net acceleration
= (0.38) * √[(765)^2 + (1040)^2] N
= 490.6 N.
