A 10.0 kg ball falling at 10.0 m/s hits a mattress and comes to a complete stop in 0.5 s. What force does the mattress exert to stop the ball?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

F = m a a = (change in velocity)/(change in time) = (10.0)/0.5 etc

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the force would be 200?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just so. 200 N
