A catcher stops a 40.0 m / s squared pitch in his glove. If the force exerted by the catcher is 200 N, what is the mass of the ball?

The force acting on an object is given by

[tex]\boxed{F = ma}[/tex]

where:

F = force

m = mass

a = acceleration

[tex]\tt{\huge{\red{Solution:}}}[/tex]

Solving for m

F = ma

[tex]\dfrac{F}{a} = \dfrac{ma}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{F}{a}[/tex]

[tex]m = \dfrac{\text{200 N}}{\text{40.0 m/}\text{s}^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{m = \text{5 kg}}[/tex]

Therefore, the mass of the ball is 5 kg.
