here we will use the concept of Newton's III law
as per Newton's III law the impulse given to the ball is same as the impulse lost by the bat
So here we will say
impulse gain by the ball = impulse lost by the bat

given that


For ball the change in speed will be

now from above equation


so speed of bat will decrease by 6.72 mph
The centripetal acceleration a is 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
<u>Explanation:</u>
The speed is constant and computing the speed from the distance and time for one full lap.
Given, distance = 400 mm = 0.4 m, Time = 100 s.
Computing the v = 0.4 m / 100 s
v = 4
10^-3 m/s.
radius of the circular end r = 37 mm = 0.037 m.
centripetal acceleration a = v^2 / r
= (4
10^-3)^2 / 0.037
a = 4.32
10^-4 m/s^2.
Density is varying through the world’s oceans. The density of ocean water is not uniform.
