What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50 and hits the catchers glove with a force of 25 newtons?

At the point of impact, since force = mass x acceleration,
acceleration = 25/0.5 = 50 N/kg
If the catcher exerts a force of 25 newtons against the 0.5 kg ball, then he will cause it to accelerate at the rate of 50 m/sec-squared. If he happens to exert the force in the direction opposite to the velocity of the ball ... a common occurrence for a catcher ... then the acceleration is also opposite to the velocity of the ball, and the ball slows down.

∙ 9y agoThe softball's acceleration is equal to its force divided by its mass: 25 / 0.5 = 50 meters per second squared.

∙ 7y agoJust apply Newton's Second Law - in this case, you divide the force by the mass.

What is the formula for newtons law of acceleration?
F = MA, where F is the force in newtons, M is the mass is kilograms, and A is the acceleration in m s-2.
What is the mathematical relationship between force and acceleration?
Force in Newtons = mass in kilograms * acceleration ( can be gravitational acceleration )F = maThe mathematical relationship between force and acceleration is directly proportional.
How does Newtons second law measure force?
Unbalanced force=mass of object x acceleration of object
What is the acceleration of an object that has a mass of 4.0 if the net force acting on it is 26?
Use the formula force = mass x acceleration. In SI units, the force should be in newtons, the mass in kilograms, the acceleration in meters/second2.
How can nawtons first law be derived from newtons second law?
The Second Law is Force = Mass times Acceleration. The First Law can be derived from the Second Law by setting the Focre to zero or the Acceleration to zero;. No force = no acceleration; or No acceleration = no force.
How do you calculate acceleration using newtons and kilograms?
Ex: During a softball game, a 0.2kg softball is hit by a bat. If the net force exerted on the softball by the bat is 300N (Newton's), what is the softball's acceleration?0.2kg is mass, so you would take 0.2 divided by 300=1,500... your welcome smarty
What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50 kg and hits the catcher's glove with a force of 25 newtrons?
Force equals mass times acceleration. Similarly, acceleration equals force divided by mass. So, 50 Newtons divided by 0.5 kilograms is 100 meters per second squared.
What is Newtons equal to?
Force (newtons) = mass x acceleration
What is the formula for newtons law of acceleration?
F = MA, where F is the force in newtons, M is the mass is kilograms, and A is the acceleration in m s-2.
I have the weight and force so how do i figure out acceleration?
Acceleration = force in newtons divided by mass in kilograms
How are force mass and acceleration are related by newtons second law of motion?
Force=mass*acceleration
How if force related to velocity and acceleration?
An object's force (in Newtons) is the product of its velocity and acceleration: F = m x a
What is related to force?
mass, acceleration, motion - speed and velocity, newtons 1st law force = mass * acceleration speed requires force to change force acts on velocity to change it newtons 1st law describes force
What is the force in newtons needed to move a 1500 kg vehicle at an acceleration of 3 m?
A force of 4500 Newtons is required.
What is the mathematical relationship between force and acceleration?
Force in Newtons = mass in kilograms * acceleration ( can be gravitational acceleration )F = maThe mathematical relationship between force and acceleration is directly proportional.
What is a force and is measured in newtons?
The measure of a force acting on a body is the mass of the body multiplied by its acceleration in the direction of the applied force.
How do you find linear?
acceleration = force in Newtons/mass in kg
