I have a scenario which is simply a ball hits the ground from above i know the mass of the ball and the speed in mph of the ball just before it hits the ground. No other variables are known, I need to know the force it hits the ground.
What is the best way to calculate it? I had thought F = m x a, but to calculate the acceleration I would need a distance?
Obviously I'm not a physics person and any help would be greatly appreciated.
