Question

a child hits a ball with a force of 350 N. (a) If the ball and bat are in contact for 0.12 is, what impulse does the ball receive? (b) what is its change in momentum?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that,

Force with which a child hits a ball is 350 N

Time of contact is 0.12 s

We need to find the impulse received by the ball. The impulse delivered is given by :

$J=F\times t\\\\J=350\times 0.12\\\\J=42\ N-m$

So, the impulse is 42 N-m..

We know that he change in momentum is also equal to the impulse delivered.

So, impulse = 42 N-m and change in momentum =42 N-m.
