What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50 kg and hits the catcher's glove with a force of 25 newtrons?

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.

What is the acceleration of a softball if it has a mass of 0.50 and hits the catchers glove with a force of 25 newtons?
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.
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
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
Explain how a football and a soccerball can have different accelerations if pushed by the same force?
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.
What is acceleration force?
In physics there is no such thing as an "acceleration force". A force however will produce an acceleration, according to Newton's Second Law: F=ma, or force = mass x acceleration. Solving for acceleration: acceleration = force / mass
What is force on an object when its acceleration is normal force?
force of acceleration
Is force acceleration?
No a force causes acceleration.
What is the force of acceleration?
There is no force of acceleration. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes over time. A net force causes acceleration.
How its force related to acceleration?
Force causes acceleration.
Does force describe mass or acceleration?
Neither. Force causes acceleration of mass. Mathematically, Force = Mass * Acceleration.
What creates force?
Mass and acceleration creates force (Mass*Acceleration=Force).
How are acceleration and force the same?
Force and acceleration are NOT the same. If you apply a net force to an object, it causes the object to accelerate. The amount of acceleration depends on the force and the mass of the object. Force = mass x acceleration.
