Hey 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

To calculate the force exerted by the baseball glove on the ball during the collision, you can use Newton's second law of motion. The equation is:

Force = mass × acceleration

In this case, the mass refers to the mass of the ball, and the acceleration refers to the change in velocity of the ball caused by the collision.

Note: If you have additional information about the collision, such as the initial velocity of the ball and the time of collision, you can use the equation F = Δp/Δt, where Δp is the change in momentum of the ball and Δt is the time of the collision.
