As a baseball is being caught it’s speed goes from 32 m/s to 0.0 m/s in about 0.0050s. The mass of the baseball is 0.165 kg. What are the magnitude and direction of the force acting on the player who caught it?
force * time = change of momentum
F * 0.005 = 0.165 * -32 on ball
so
F * 0.005 = 0.165 * +32 on player
