A force is when there is an automatic out at the base if the ball is thrown there

What is the acceleration of softball if it has a mass of 0.5 kg and hits the catcher's glove with a force of Newton's?

To find the acceleration of the softball, you would need to know the net force acting on it and its mass. If the force is given in Newtons, you can divide it by the mass of the softball in kilograms to find the acceleration in m/s^2.


Why is the force different between the difference that are hit between a baseball and a softball?

The surface of a softball is larger so it does not go as fast as a small basseball. Though the batter and pitcher(s) determine a lot of the force. -Marina20


What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.5kg and hits a catcher's glove with a force of 25 N?

The acceleration of the softball is 50 m/s^2. This is calculated by dividing the force applied (25 N) by the mass of the softball (0.5 kg), using Newton's second law of motion (F=ma).


What does softball have to do with math?

the angle that the ball is going and the force that is applied to the ball by the bat


How do you calculate acceleration using newtons and kilograms?

Ex: During a softball game, a 0.2kg softball is hit by a bat. If the net force exerted on the softball by the bat is 300N (Newton's), what is the softball's acceleration?0.2kg is mass, so you would take 0.2 divided by 300=1,500... your welcome smarty


Can a softball be used in a baseball game why or why not?

no because the softball is not as firm as a baseball so it would cause less of a force when you hit it which can make it easier to get you out and because the softball is yellow and bigger than a baseball and a baseball is white


How does action reaction forces apply to softball?

In softball, action-reaction forces come into play when a player throws a ball. As the player exerts force on the ball by releasing it, an equal and opposite force is exerted on the player in the opposite direction. This force helps propel the ball forward.


If a softball strikes a mitt with a force of 175N over an area of 0.002m2 what is the pressure?

The pressure exerted by the softball on the mitt can be calculated using the formula Pressure = Force/Area. Plugging in the values, we get Pressure = 175N / 0.002m^2 = 87,500 Pa. Thus, the pressure exerted by the softball on the mitt is 87,500 Pascal.


How does newton's second law affect the movement of softball?

Newton's second law states that the acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it and inversely proportional to its mass. In the case of a softball, applying a greater force to it will result in a greater acceleration, while a heavier softball will have a smaller acceleration for the same force applied.


Why does a softball with its greater mass not travel as far as a baseball hit with the same force?

because they both have the same mass


Why does a softball sting when the pitcher pitches the ball to the catcher?

The velocity of the softball that is pitched is fast enough to hit the catchers glove with a lot of force so it causes the catcher's hand to sting or hurt


Why did they name softball softball?

They named it softball because the game of softball was derived from Baseball. The baseball had a hard core whereas the softball has a soft core, so they named it softball. Although the ball is not softball the core of the ball is soft.
