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?

[tex]\tt{\huge{\blue{Explanation:}}}[/tex]

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.
