A baseball catcher is catching a fastball that is thrown at 43 m/s (96 mi/h) by the pitcher. If the mass of the ball is 0.15 kg and if the catcher moves his mitt backward toward his body by 8.0 cm as the ball lands in the glove, what is the magnitude of the average force acting on the catcher's mitt? Estimate the time interval required for the catcher to move his hands.
change in KE = 0.5*m*v^2
work done = F*X
from work energy theorem
W = dKE
F*X = 0.5*m*v^2
F*0.08 = 0.5*0.15*43^2
F = 1733.44 N <<<--------answer
-------------
force= rate of change in momentim
F = mv/t
t = mv/F = 0.15*43/1733.44
t = 3.72 *10^-3 s <<-------answer

A baseball catcher moves his glove away from a 34.0 m/s fastball as he catches it. If the average force he exerts on the ball is 1.12 103 N, how far does the glove move? Assume constant deceleration of the ball, which has a mass of 0.142 kg
A 140-g baseball traveling at 84 mi/h strikes the catcher's mitt which, in bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward a distance of 20 cm. Determine the magnitude of the average force applied by the glove on the ball to bring it to a stop, in newtons. Answer: Check
13. A baseball catcher puts on an exhibition by catching a 0.15-kg ball dropped from a helicopter at a height of 101 m. What is the speed of the ball just before it hits the catcher's glove 1.0 m above the ground? (g = 9.8 m/s and ignore air resistance) a. 44 m/s b. 38 m/s c. 31 m/s d. 22 m/s 14. A hill is 100 m long and makes an angle of 12° with the horizontal. As a...
