A pitcher throws a fastball during a ballgame. The velocity of the ball is 44 m/s. The mass of the ball is 150 grams. The catcher catches the ball in his glove at 0.2 seconds.

a) Compute the impulse the glove exerts catching the ball.

I'm lost on part a.

b) Compute the force exerted to catch the ball.

F = (0.15 kg) (44 m/s) / 0.2 seconds = 33 N (is this correct?)

impulse=massball*velocitiyball=.150*44
b is correct.
Thank you!
