a 0.230 kg baseball is thrown with a velocity of 35 m/s. The ball hits the catcher's mitt with a force of 150 N, how long does it take for the ball to come to rest in the catcher's mitt?

Hello!

So momentum is mass times velocity and change in momentum is equal to the impulse. Impulse equal force times time. So from your given values we can solve like this

p=impulse so mv=Ft

So we have .230kg*35m/s=150N*time now rearranging for Time we have

(.230kg*35m/s)/150N= .0537s for the mitt to stop the ball.

Hope this helps you understand the concept! Any questions please just ask! Thank you so much!!
