To find the force with which the ball hits the catcher's mitt, we can use Newton's second law of motion, which states that force (F) equals mass (m) multiplied by acceleration (a).
Given:
Mass of the softball (m) = 0.2 kg
Acceleration (a) = 8 m/s^2
Using the formula: F = m * a
F = 0.2 kg * 8 m/s^2
F = 1.6 kg⋅m/s^2
Therefore, the force with which the ball hits the catcher's mitt is 1.6 Newtons.
A 0.2 kilogram softball is thrown towards a catchers mitt the ball is accelerating at a rate of 8 meters per second squared with what force will the ball hit the catchers mitt
