Stopping acceleration and starting to move at constant speed

[QUOTE="andrewkirk, post: 5567636, member: 265790"] The force will vary over the period for which the ball is in contact with the mass. It will start at zero, increase to a maximum, then decline back to zero. The final zero is reached when the ball loses contact (if it bounces) or when it is fully stationary with respect to the mass (if no bounce). The pattern of force over time, and the maximum force experienced, depend on the construction of the ball and of the mass's surface. The calculation would be complex and need a great deal of extra information about the ball and surface. [/QUOTE]
