Sure! Let's solve this problem step by step using the GRES A method:
1. Given (G):
- Mass of the baseball [tex]\( m = 10 \)[/tex] kg
- Acceleration [tex]\( a = 5 \)[/tex] m/s²
2. Required (R):
- We need to find the force [tex]\( F \)[/tex] exerted by the wall on the baseball.
3. Equation (E):
- According to Newton's second law of motion, the force can be calculated using the formula: [tex]\[ F = m \times a \][/tex]
where [tex]\( m \)[/tex] is the mass and [tex]\( a \)[/tex] is the acceleration.
4. Solve (S):
- Substitute the given values into the equation: [tex]\[ F = 10 \, \text{kg} \times 5 \, \text{m/s}^2 \][/tex]
- Calculate the result: [tex]\[ F = 50 \, \text{N} \][/tex]
5. Answer (A):
- Therefore, the force that the wall exerts on the baseball is [tex]\( 50 \)[/tex] Newtons (N).
So, the wall exerts a force of 50 N on the baseball.
