26. a baseball traveling 38 m/s is caught by the catcher. the catcher takes 0.1 seconds to stop the ball. what is the acceleration of the ball and how many g's is this?

The ball has an acceleration of -380 m/s², this means the ball slows down

An acceleration of -380 m/s² is the equivalent of 38.736 g's

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Velocity of the baseball at time t=0 = 38 m/s

At time t, the ball stops. This means v = 0

time before stops = 0.1s

Step 2: Calculate the acceleration

v= v0+at

with v= the velocity of the ball at time t = 0. v= 0

with v0 = the velocity of the ball at time t=0. v0 = 38 m/s

with a= the acceleration in m/s²

with t = time in seconds

0 = 38 + a*0.1

a = -380 m/s²

The ball has an acceleration of -380 m/s², this means the ball slows down

An acceleration of -380 m/s² is the equivalent of 38.736 g's
