Question

A fastball is thrown at a batter at a speed of 40.0 m/s. The batter hits the ball, and it sails off in the opposite direction at a speed of 48.0 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the bat for 7.00 × 10^(-4) s, what was the magnitude of the average acceleration of the ball while it was in contact with the bat?

Step 1

The initial velocity (\(v_i\)) is 40.0 m/s (towards the batter), and the final velocity (\(v_f\)) is 48.0 m/s (away from the batter). Since the ball changes direction, we need to consider the direction in our calculations. Let's assume the initial direction Show more…
