Compare the collision between two baseballs and a catcher's mitt. Case A: A baseball pitched at 40 m/s collides with a catcher's mitt and is brought

to a stop. The catcher holds the mitt rather rigidly and retracts backwards very little

as the ball strikes the mitt

Case B: An identical baseball pitched at 40 m/s collides with a catcher's mitt and

is brought to a stop. The catcher holds the mitt with a relaxed arm and retracts

backwards 30 cm as the ball strikes the mitt.
