Answer 11

To find the force with which the softball will hit the catcher’s mitt, you can use Newton's second law of motion, which states:

$$F=m\times a$$

Where:

• $F$ is the force in newtons (N),
• $m$ is the mass in kilograms (kg),
• $a$ is the acceleration in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Given:

• $m=0.2,\text{kg}$
• $a=8,{\text{m/s}}^2$

Now, plug in the values:

$$F=0.2,\text{kg}\times 8,{\text{m/s}}^2=1.6,\text{N}$$

Therefore, the force with which the ball will hit the catcher’s mitt is 1.6 N.
