Question

A batter swings at a baseball (mass 0.145 kg) that is moving horizontally toward him at a speed of 40.0 m/s. He hits a line drive with the ball moving away from him horizontally at 50.0 m/s just after it leaves the bat. Part A If the bat and ball are in contact for 8.00 ms, what is the average force that the bat applies to the ball? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

Step 1

The initial momentum of the ball can be calculated using the formula: p = mv where p is the momentum, m is the mass of the ball, and v is the velocity of the ball. p = (0.145 kg)(40.0 m/s) p = 5.80 kg m/s Show more…
