QUESTION:

The baseball is traveling with a horizontal velocity of 85 mi / hr just before impact with the bat. Just after the impact, the velocity of the \(5 \frac{1}{8}-\mathrm{oz}\) ball is 130 mi / hr directed at \(35^{\circ}\) to the horizontal as shown. Determine the x- and y-components of the average force R exerted by the bat on the baseball during the 0.005-sec impact. Comment on the treatment of the weight of the baseball (a) during the impact and (b) over the first few seconds after impact.
