A flying baseball with a mass of 05 kg reaches a catchers gl
A flying baseball with a mass of 0.5 kg
reaches a catcher’s glove travelling at a
velocity of 60 m/s.
1. What is magnitude of the momentum of the ball?
2. How much impulse is required to stop the ball?
3. If the ball is in contact with the glove for 0.5 s
during the catch, how much average force is applied
by the glove?
Solution
momentum=0.5x60Kgm/s=30Kgm/s ANS 2)Impulse=Pxt=m(v-u)=0.5x(60-0)=30Nm 3)Avg Forcext=0.5(60-0)/0.5=60N ANS
