Question

The mass of a baseball is 153g. The velocity of the ballimmediately before central impact is 24m/s. Find the averageimpulse force if the duration of the impact was 8.3x10^-3s.

Explanation / Answer

Use the equation Ft = mv. Solving for Fgives: F = mv/t = (0.153 kg)(36.67 m/s - 24 m/s)/(8.3 x10-3 s) = 233.6 N
