Homework Statement


A 0.140-kg baseball traveling 33.0 m/s strikes the catcher's mitt, which, in bringing the ball to rest, recoils backward 13.0 cm.
What was the average force applied by the ball on the glove?

Homework Equations



F=[tex]\Delta[/tex]M/[tex]\Delta[/tex]T

The Attempt at a Solution


I don't know how to find the data to plug into the equation.

Initial velocity is given, final velocity is zero. Displacement is given. find the acceleration.
