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.force = weight × velocity
2.force = mass × acceleration
3.force = weight × acceleration
4.force = mass × velocity

1 answer

The equation used to calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision is:

2. force = mass × acceleration

This equation relates the force exerted on an object to its mass and the acceleration it experiences. In this case, the mass of the ball and the acceleration it experiences during the collision with the glove will determine the force exerted by the glove on the ball.
