a 0.149-kilogram baseball, initially moving at 15 meters per second, is brought to rest in 0.040 seconds by a baseball glove on a catchers hand. the magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by glove is
Accepted Solution
A:
The net force in this case will be given by: F = m * ((delta V) / (delta t)) where, delta V: speed differential. delta t: time differential. m: mass. Substituting the values: F = (0.149) * ((15) / (0.040)) F = 55,875 N Answer: the magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by glove is F = 55,875 N
