Question

Andy Petite pitches a 0.8 kg baseball with a velocity of 67 m/s. Josh Hamilton

Answer 1

The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

To solve the problem above, we use the formula of impulse.

⇒ Formula:

• I = m(v-u)................. Equation 1

Where:

• I = Impulse delivered to the baseball
• m = mass of the baseball
• v = Final velocity of the baseball
• u = initial speed of the baseball

From the question,

⇒ Given:

• m = 0.8 kg
• u = 67 m/s
• v = -44 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

• I = 0.8(-44-67)
• I = 0.8(-111)
• I = -88.8
• I ≈ -89 kgm/s

Note: The negative tells that the impulse is in the same direction as the final velocity and therefore can be ignored.

Hence, The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.
