To calculate the force with which the ball will hit the catcher's mitt, we can use Newton's second law, which states that the force (F) is equal to the mass (m) multiplied by the acceleration (a).
F = m * a
F = 0.2 kg * 8 m/s^2
F = 1.6 N
Therefore, the force with which the ball will hit the catcher's mitt is 1.6 N.
A 0.2-kilogram softball is thrown toward a catcher’s mitt. The ball is accelerating at a rate of 8 meters per second squared. With what force will the ball hit the catcher’s mitt?(1 point) Responses 40 N 40 N 1.6 N 1.6 N 8.2 N 8.2 N 7.8 N
