What is the average net force exerted by
the ball on the glove?
Answer in units of N,

Answer 1

The magnitude of the impulse imparted to the T-ball is 6 kgm/s, and the average net force exerted by the ball on the glove is 120 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the T-ball, we can use the equation:

Impulse = mass * change in velocity

Given that the mass of the T-ball is 0.6 kg and the change in velocity is 10 m/s (since the T-ball is stopped), we can calculate the magnitude of the impulse:

Impulse = 0.6 kg * 10 m/s = 6 kgm/s

To find the average net force exerted by the ball on the glove, we can use the equation:

Average force = impulse / time

Given that the impulse is 6 kgm/s and the time is 0.05 s, we can calculate the average net force:

Average force = 6 kgm/s / 0.05 s = 120 N
