Answer: 90N

Explanation:

Mass of ball = 0.45 kg

Change in velocity = 20.0 m/s

Time = 0.10 seconds

Force required for change = ?

Since force refers to the change in momentum per unit time, hence

Force = Momentum / Time

i.e Force = Mass x (change in velocity / time)

Force = 0.45kg x (20.0m/s /0.10second)

= 0.45kg x (200 m/s^2)

= 90N

Thus, 90N of force was necessary for this change in velocity
