Question

A 0.15-kilogram baseball moving at 43 meters per second was stopped by the catcher’s glove in 0.050 seconds. What was the average force exerted on the ball by the glove? Round your answer to two significant figures.

Answer 1

The average force exerted on the ball by the glove will be 129 N.

What is force?

Force is defined as the push or pulls applied to the body. Sometimes it is used to change the shape, size, and direction of the body. Force is defined as the product of mass and acceleration. Its unit is Newton.

Given data;

Mass,(m)=0.15-kilogram

Initial speed,u=43 meters per second

Time period,t= 0.050 seconds

Average force exerted,F=?

The average force exerted on the ball by the glove is;

$\rm F = m\frac{v-u}{t} \\\\ F=0.15( \frac{43-0}{0.050} )\\\\ F=129 N$

Hence, the average force exerted on the ball by the glove will be 129 N.
