The velocity of a pitched ball (150 g) has a magnitude of 40.0 m/s. After striking the bat the batted ball’s velocity is 59.0 m/s in the opposite direction. a) Find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball. b) What is the magnitude of the Impulse applied to the ball by the bat? c) The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.5 ms. What is the average force applied by the bat on the ball? d) The mass of an MBA bat is 0.940 kg. If the bat is in contact with the ball for 1.5 ms, what is the magnitude of the force applied by the ball on the bat.
