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)

Responses

force = mass × velocity
force = mass × velocity

force = mass × acceleration
force = mass × acceleration

force = weight × acceleration
force = weight × acceleration

force = weight × velocity

force = mass × acceleration

The equation used to calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision is:

force = mass × acceleration

To calculate the force the glove exerts on the ball during the collision, you would use the equation force = mass × acceleration. The reason we use the equation force = mass × acceleration is because during the collision, the ball experiences a change in velocity in a very short amount of time. This change in velocity is the result of an acceleration, which can be caused by the force exerted by the glove. The force exerted by the glove is equal to the product of the mass of the ball and its acceleration during the collision. Therefore, force = mass × acceleration is the correct equation to use in this scenario.
