Average force applied by the call on the glove = 780 N
Explanation:
mass of baseball=0.140 kg
initial velocity = Vi= 35 m/s
Final velocity=Vf= 0
distance traveled=11 cm= 0.11 m
using the kinematic equation Vf²= Vi²+ 2 a d
where a = acceleration
0²= 35²+ 2 a (0.11)
a=-5568.2 m/s²
Now force is given by F= ma
F= 0.140 (5568.2)
F=-780 N
The negative sign signifies that the force acts in the opposite direction.
so the average force= 780 N
