Answer:
F = -307.4 N
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the baseball, m = 0.145 kg
Initial speed of the baseball, u = 60 m/s
Final speed of the baseball, 
Time of contact, 
(a) It is assumed to find the horizontal component of average force. It is given by :
F = -307.4 N
So, the horizontal component of average force is 307.4 N. Hence, this is the required solution.
The ohm is the unit measure of resistance.

We would calculate the magnitude by applying pythagorean theorem:



The angle between two vectors is given by the formula:

In two dimensional, the x axis of vector form is:








Answer:
a. -369.36J
b. -123.9J
c. 9.52m
Explanation:
From the expression for kinetic energy
K. E=1/2mv^2
Since the mass is constant, but the velocity changes. Hence the change in kinetic energy is
K.E=1/2*19(3.6²-7.2²)
K.E= -369.36J
b. to determine the workdone by the force,we determine the distance moved.
But the acceleration is from
F=ma ,
a=f/m
a=-13/19
0.68m/s²
the distance moved is
s=v²/2a
s=3.6²/2*0.68
s=9.52m
Hence the work done is
W=force * distance
W=-13*9.52
W=-123.9J
d. the distance moved is
s=v²/2a
s=3.6²/2*0.68
s=9.52m
