A baseball Is traveling with a momentum of 6.5kg m/s. If it gets stopped in 0.020s, then what is the magnitude of the force stopping it?

Answer 1

Given :

A baseball Is traveling with a momentum of 6.5kg m/s.

To Find :

The magnitude of the force stopping it If it gets stopped in 0.020 s.

Solution :

We know, force in terms of magnitude is given by :

`Force = (Momentum)/(Time\ Taken)\\\\Force = (6.5 \ kg\ m/s)/(0.020\ s)\\\\Force = 325 \ kg \ m/s^2`

Therefore, the magnitude of the force stopping it is 325 kg m/s² .
