Question

A 300g ball travelling at 50m/s strikes the palm of the player's hand is stop him 10 s .find the force exerted by the ball on the hand.

Answer 1

velocity of the ball = 50 m/s

mass = 300g = 0.3kg

time taken = 10 s

Therefore,

Force = $\frac{mu}{t}$

= (0.3 * 50) ÷ 10

= 15 ÷ 10 = 1.5 N

Hope this helped.
