Question

3) A person catches a ball with a mass of 145 g dropped from a height of 60.0 m above his glove. His hand stops the ball in 0.0100 s. What is the force exerted by his glove on the ball? Assume the ball slows down with constant acceleration.

Answer 1

Answer: 87KN

Explanation: F= m(v-u)/t

V= h/t

V= 60/0.0100

v= 6000m/s

M=145g/1000=0.145kg

F= 0.145*6000/0 .001

F= 87000N

F= 87KN
