Using Newton's second law;

F = ma, where m = mass, a = acceleration or deceleration

a = Δv/t = (v-u)/t, but v= 0, u = 10 m/s, t = 1.
Then,
a = (0-10)1 = -10 m/s^2

Substituting;
F = ma = 10*-10 = -100 N

The  mattress exerts 100 N to stop the ball.

What is the momentum of a 0.1-kg mass moving with a speed of 5 m/s
Andrej [43]
This question is wrong because in momontum we will write acceleration instead of speed.     suppose acceleration is 5m/s2 then 
 P= ma 
                then put values

Explain how fluids exert pressure
Veseljchak [2.6K]
In a fluid, all the forces exerted by the individual particles combine to make up the pressure exerted by the fluid 
Due to fundamental nature of fluids, a fluid cannot remain at rest under the presence of shear stress. However, fluids can exert pressure normal to any contacting surface. If a point in the fluid is thought of as a small cube, then it follows from the principles of equilibrium that the pressure on every side of this unit of fluid must be equal. but if this were not a case, the fluid would move in the directions of the resulting force, So the pressure on a fluid at rest is isotropic.
