A baseball of a mass 0.15 kg is thrown by a pitcher with a speed 20m/s. The bat is in contact with the ball for 0.01 second and gives it a speed of 30m/s in a direction straight towards the picther.find the value of the force and the impluse?

Answer 1

change in velocity 20+30 = 50 m/s

change of momentum = .15 * 50 kg m/s
= impulse

F = change in momentum / time
= .15 * 50 / .01
