A150 g baseball is traveling horizontally at 50 m/s. if the ball takes 20 ms to stop once it is in contact with the catcher’s glove, what average force did the ball exert on the catcher?

To solve for force, you need to get the product of mass and acceleration.
F = ma

Your given is:
m = 150g
a = ?
v = 50 m/s
t = 20ms

As you can see, you do not have acceleration yet. But if you read the problem you can come up with the formula of acceleration.
Acceleration is the change in velocity over a period of time.

a = change in velocity/time

To get the change in velocity, you get the difference between the initial velocity and final velocity:

$a = \frac{vf-vi}{t}$

The ball was moving initially at a velocity of 50 m/s and it came to a stop. This is your clue. If a ball comes to a stop then that means that the final velocity of the ball is 0 m/s.

So we can put it into our formula now:

$a = \frac{0m/s-50m/s}{20ms}$

WAIT! As you can see, the units do not match. We have ms and s into our equation and that means you cannot proceed till they are the same. First we need to convert ms to s.

20ms

x $\frac{1s}{1000ms}$ = $\frac{20s}{1000} = 0.02s$

So your new time is 0.02s. Now we put this time into the formula:

$a = \frac{0m/s-50m/s}{0.02s}$
$a = \frac{-50m/s}{0.02s} = -2,500 m/ s^{2}$

As you can see our acceleration is a negative value, this indicates that it decelerated or slowed down which makes sense because it was brought to a stop.

So now we have our acceleration. Now using this, we can get our force.

F= ma

Before we start doing this, you need to take note that the unit of force is N, but when you expand it, it is $kg.m/ s^{2}$ but as you can see our mass given is in grams. So again, before you put them into the equation we need to change it into kg first.

$150g = \frac{1kg}{1,000g} = \frac{150kg}{1,000} = 0.150kg$

Our new mass is 0.150kg.

To make things clearer, let us write down all our new values:

m = 0.150kg
a = -2,500 $m/ s^{2}$

Now that all our units match, we can put that into our formula:

F= ma

$F= (0.150kg)(-2,500m/s^{2})$
$F = -375kg.m/ s^{2} or -375N$

The value again is negative because it is going against the initial direction of the ball. But if your instructor just wants to get the value of force or the magnitude of the force, just disregard the sign.

Aheat engine running backward is called a refrigerator if its purpose is to extract heat from a cold reservoir. the same engine running backward is called a heat pump if its purpose is to exhaust warm air into the hot reservoir. heat pumps are widely used for home heating. you can think of a heat pump as a refrigerator that is cooling the already cold outdoors and, with its exhaust heat qh, warming the indoors. perhaps this seems a little silly, but consider the following. electricity can be directly used to heat a home by passing an electric current through a heating coil. this is a direct, 100% conversion of work to heat. that is, 19.0 \rm kw of electric power (generated by doing work at the rate 19.0 kj/s at the power plant) produces heat energy inside the home at a rate of 19.0 kj/s. suppose that the neighbor's home has a heat pump with a coefficient of performance of 4.00, a realistic value. note: with a refrigerator, "what you get" is heat removed. but with a heat pump, "what you get" is heat delivered. so the coefficient of performance of a heat pump is k=qh/win. an average price for electricity is about 40 mj per dollar. a furnace or heat pump will run typically 200 hours per month during the winter. what does one month's heating cost in the home with a 16.0 kw electric heater? what does one month's heating cost in the home of a neighbor who uses a heat pump to provide the same amount of heating?
