Given:
Initial velocity, vi = 41.0 m/s
Mass of ball, m = 195 g = 0.195 kg
Final velocity, vf = 37.0 m/s
Assuming the ball is moving horizontally just before and after collision with the bat, let's solve for the following:
• (A). What is the impulse delivered to the ball by the bat?
To find the impulse, apply the change in momentum formula:
[tex]\Delta p=p_f-p_i[/tex]Where:
pi is the initial momentum = -mvi
pf is the final momentum = mvf
Thus, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \Delta p=mv_f-(-mv_i) \\ \\ \Delta p=mv_f+mv_i \\ \\ \Delta p=m(v_f+v_i) \\ \\ \Delta p=0.195(37.0+41.0) \\ \\ \Delta p=15.21\text{ kg}\cdot\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}[/tex]Impulse can be said to equal change in momentum.
Therefore, the impulse delivered to the ball by the bat is 15.21 kg.m/s away from the bat.
• (B). If the bat and ball are in contact for 3.00 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by the bat?
Apply the formula:
[tex]\text{ Impulse = Force }\ast\text{ time}[/tex]Rewrite the formula for force:
[tex]\text{ Force=}\frac{impulse}{time}[/tex]Where:
time = 3.00 m/s
impulse = 15.21 kg.m/s
Hence, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{ F=}\frac{15.21}{3} \\ \\ F\text{ = 5.07 kN} \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by the bat is 5.07 kN away from the bat.
ANSWER:
(A). 15.21 kg.m/s away from the bat
(B). 5.07 kN.
