I'll help you, but next time, post math problems. Do you know what the gravity of earth is?

Are you speaking of reaction when ball hits a surface?

anonymous · Answer

yes

anonymous · Answer

When a ball hits a surface, it turns into kinetic energy if not elastic. However, if the ball is elastic, the ball will rebound. So, when the ball hits the surface, a huge force is created which is called an impact. .. http://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/impact-force-d_1780.html

The impact is great due to the total potential energy of the free fall mgh but divided by the slow down distance. F=mgh/s. I am not sure what you learned so far in class in order to help answer you correctly.
