The force with which the ball will hit the catcher's mitt is calculated using the formula: force = mass x acceleration. In this case, the mass is 0.2 kilograms and the acceleration is 8 meters per second squared. Thus, the force will be:
force = 0.2 kg x 8 m/s^2 = 1.6 N
Therefore, the answer is 1.6 N.
