Question

A 0.320 kg ball approaches a bat horizontally with a speed of 14.0 m/s and after getting hit by the bat, the ball moves in the opposite direction with a speed of 22 m/s. If the ball is in contact with the bat for 0.0600 s, determine the magnitude of the average force exerted on the bat.

Answer 1

Answer:

42.67N

Explanation:

Step one:

Given

mass m= 0.32kg

intital velocity, u= 14m/s

final velocity v= 22m/s

time= 0.06s

Step two:

Required

Force F

the expression for the force is

F=mΔv/t

F=0.32*(22-14)/0.06

F=(0.32*8)/0.06

F=2.56/0.06

F=42.67N

The average force exerted on the bat 42.67N
