Force equals mass times acceleration.
Similarly, acceleration equals force divided by mass.
So, 50 Newtons divided by 0.5 kilograms is 100 meters per second squared.
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.
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
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).
At the point of impact, since force = mass x acceleration, acceleration = 25/0.5 = 50 N/kg If the catcher exerts a force of 25 newtons against the 0.5 kg ball, then he will cause it to accelerate at the rate of 50 m/sec-squared. If he happens to exert the force in the direction opposite to the velocity of the ball ... a common occurrence for a catcher ... then the acceleration is also opposite to the velocity of the ball, and the ball slows down.
When a pitcher pitches the ball, she (or he) applies a force to it to push it over the plate. Depending on the size of the ball they use and the amount of force applied, the ball will take a different path to the plate. So if a pitcher applies a lot of force with a small ball, the ball will go faster. If the pitcher applies little force to a large ball it may not travel as quickly.
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
Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.Force = mass x acceleration, therefore, acceleration = force / mass.
force of acceleration
No a force causes acceleration.
Force causes acceleration.
Mass and acceleration creates force (Mass*Acceleration=Force).
The force that causes acceleration is known as net force.
