Answer:
- The impulse exerted by the ball is 7.2 kg.m/s
- The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 600 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of the baseball, m = 0.144 kg
velocity of the baseball, v₁ = 20 m/s
velocity of the batter, v₂ = -30 m/s (opposite direction to the ball's speed)
The impulse exerted by the ball is calculated as follows;
J = ΔP = mv₁ - mv₂
ΔP = m(v₁ - v₂)
ΔP = 0.144 [20 - (-30)]
ΔP = 0.144 ( 20 + 30 )
ΔP = 0.144 (50)
ΔP = 7.2 kg.m/s
The average force exerted on the ball by the bat is calculated as;
