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

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
