A 0.166 kg baseball, thrown with a speed of 38.6 m/s, is hit straight back at the pitcher with a speed of 47.9 m/s.
(a) What is the magnitude of the impulse delivered by the bat to the baseball?
answer: 14.4 kg*m/s
(b) Find the magnitude of the average force exerted by the bat on the ball if the two are in contact for 2.15 10-3 s. (I just need help figuring out part b)
1 answer
(b) f = m a = .166 kg * [(47.9 m/s + 38.6 m/s) / 2.15E-3 s]
