Question
a baseball collides with a baseball glove. which equation is used to calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision? (1 point)
force = weight × acceleration
force = weight × velocity
force = mass × acceleration
force = mass × velocity
Newton's second law of motion states that force is equal to mass times acceleration ($F = ma$). Weight is a force ($weight=mg$ where $g$ is acceleration due to gravity), so force is not weight times acceleration or weight times velocity. Force is also not mass times velocity (mass times velocity is momentum, $p = mv$).
