A baseball collides with a baseball glove. Which equation is used to calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision?

1 answer

The equation used to calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision is the impulse-momentum equation, which is given by:

FΔt = mΔv

where F is the force exerted by the glove on the ball, Δt is the time interval during which the force is applied, m is the mass of the ball, and Δv is the change in velocity of the ball.
