Question

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 point)
Responses

force = mass × acceleration
force = mass × acceleration

force = mass × velocity
force = mass × velocity

force = weight × velocity
force = weight × velocity

force = weight × acceleration

Answer 1

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

force = mass × acceleration

This follows Newton's second law of motion, which states that the force acting on an object is equal to the mass of the object multiplied by its acceleration.
