A 0.145 kg baseball pitched at 37.5 m/s is hit on a horizontal line drive straight back toward the pitcher at 48.0 m/s.

If the contact time between bat and ball is 3.50×10^−3 s, calculate the average force between the ball and bat during contact.

force*time=mass*changevelociy

change in velocity=37.5- (-48) m/s
