A ball of mass 1.5kg is struck by a bat in the opposite direction to the motion of the ball. Before the impulse the ball is travelling at 16ms^-1 and the impulse of the bat on the ball is 50 Ns. Find the velocity of the ball immediately after the impact.

Answer 1

I=m(vf-vi)
50 N= 1.5 kg (vf-16)
33.33= vf-16
vf= 49.33 m/s
