Abaseball approaches home plate at a speed of 44.0 m/s, moving horizontally just before being hit by a bat. the batter hits a pop-up such that after hitting the bat, the baseball is moving at 53.0 m/s straight up. the ball has a mass of 145 g and is in contact with the bat for 2.20 ms. what is the average vector force the ball exerts on the bat during their interaction?

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of the baseball, u = 44 m/s

Speed of the baseball, v = 53 m/s

Mass of the ball, m = 145 g = 0.145 kg

Time of contact between the ball and the bat, t = 2.2 ms = 0.0022 s

F₁ = 2900 N...........(1)

F₂ = 3493.18 N.........(2)

In average vector form force is given by :

Hence, this is the required solution.

explanation:

physics means: "the branch of science concerned with the nature and properties of matter and energy. the subject matter of physics, distinguished from that of chemistry and biology, includes mechanics, heat, light and other radiation, sound, electricity, magnetism, and the structure of atoms."
