Answer
given,
mass of base ball = 0.14 kg
speed before it made the contact with the ball (V i) = 42 m/s
speed after batter hit the ball(V f) = - 48 m/s
a)
impulse = change in momentum
=
=
= -12.6 Kg m/s
Magnitude of impulse = 12.6 Kg m/s
b)
Force =
=
Force = 2520 N
Here when car in front of us applied brakes then it is slowing down due to frictional force on it
So here we can say that friction force on the car front of our car is given as
So the acceleration of car due to friction is given as
now it is given that
so here we have
so the car will accelerate due to brakes by a = - 8.52 m/s^2
