Question

The figure shows a 0.3 kg baseball just before and just after it collides with a bat. Just before, the ball has velocity of magnitude 11.4 m/s and angle = 31.4 degrees. Just after, it is traveling directly upward with velocity of magnitude 9.00 m/s. The duration of the collision is 1.90 ms. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the impulse on the ball from the bat?
