Question

Find the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 0.00129 s. Answer in units of N.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

time of contact between bat and ball is $t=0.00129 s$

suppose u is the incoming velocity and v is the final velocity after collision

$m=mass\ of\ ball$

Impulse exerted is given by change in momentum of the particle.

Initial momentum $P_i=m\times u$

Final momentum $P_f=m\times v$

Change in momentum $\Delta P=P_i-P_f$

Impulse    $J=F_{avg}\cdot t=\Delta P$

$J=F_{avg}\cdot t=m(u-v)$

$F_{avg}=\frac{m(v-u)}{t}$

$F_{avg}=775.2\times m(v-u)\ N$
