Problem 12E
A bat strikes a 0.145-kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 50.0 m/s, and it leaves the bat traveling to the left at an angle of 30° above horizontal with a speed of 65.0 m/s. If the ball and bat are in contact for 1.75 ms, find the horizontal and vertical components of the average force on the ball.

Problem 12E
A bat strikes a 0.145-kg baseball. Just before impact, the ball is traveling horizontally to the right at 50.0 m/s, and it leaves the bat traveling to the left at an angle of 30° above horizontal with a speed of 65.0 m/s. If the ball and bat are in contact for 1.75 ms, find the horizontal and vertical components of the average force on the ball.
ANSWER:
Solution 12E
Step 1:
Data given
Mass of the ball
Velocity before touching bat
Velocity after touching bat
Angle of ball
Time of contact
We need to find the horizontal and vertical component of average force on the ball
But we have momentum of the ball as
Before touching the bat
