To find the force with which the ball will hit the catcher's mitt, we can use Newton's second law of motion which states that force is equal to mass multiplied by acceleration (F = ma).
Given:
Mass (m) = 0.2 kg
Acceleration (a) = 8 m/s²
Plugging in the values, we get:
F = 0.2 kg x 8 m/s²
F = 1.6 N
Therefore, the force with which the ball will hit the catcher's mitt is 1.6 N.
The correct answer is B.) 1.6 N.
Please Help, I suck at Science....
