The addition of 24 kJ of energy will allow all of the mercury and lead to change from solid to liquid. The temperature of each substance will also increase.
Answer:
5295.3 N
Explanation:
According to law of momentum conservation, the change in momentum of the ball shall be from the momentum generated by the batter force
mv + P = mV
P = mV - mv = m(V - v)
Since the velocity of the ball before and after is in opposite direction, one of them is negative
P = 0.14(44.8 - (-19.5)) = 9 kg m/s
Hence the force exerted to generate such momentum within 1.7ms (0.0017s) is
F = P/t = 9/0.0017 = 5295.3 N
