Question
As you catch a 0.14 -kg ball it accelerates at $-320 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}^{2}$ and comesto rest in your hand. What force does the ball exert on your hand?
Step 1
We have a ball with a mass of 0.14 kilograms, and it is accelerating at a rate of -320 meters per second squared. The negative sign indicates that the acceleration is downward. We are asked to find the force that the ball exerts on your hand. Show more…

As you catch a 0.20-kg ball, it accelerates at -3.00 m/s^2 and comes to rest in your hand. What force does the ball exert on your hand? Express your answer to two significant figures and include appropriate units.
A baseball pitcher can throw a baseball at a speed of $50 \mathrm{m} / \mathrm{s}$. If the mass of the ball is $0.14 \mathrm{kg}$ and the pitcher has it in his hand over a distance of $2.0 \mathrm{m},$ what is the average force exerted by the pitcher on the ball?
