Question

A 475 gram ball is traveling horizontally at 12.0 m/s to theleft when it is suddenly struck horizontally by a bat, causing itto reverse direction and initially travel at 8.50 m/s to the right.If the bat produced an average force of 1275N on the ball, for howlong(in ms) was it in contract with the ball? please help...

Explanation / Answer

change in momentum =   force * time . m (v final - v initial) = force* time . 0.475 kg * ( 8.50   -  -12.0) m/s   = 1275 N * time .       9.7375 = 1275* t .    t =   0.00764 seconds =   7.64ms
