Force of a Baseball Swing. A baseball has mass 0.145 kg.

(a) If the velocity of a pitched ball has a magnitude of

and the batted ball鈥檚 velocity is in the opposite direction,

find the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball and

of the impulse applied to it by the bat. (b) If the ball remains in

contact with the bat for 2.00 ms, find the magnitude of the average

force applied by the bat.

Short Answer

Expert verified

(a) The net change in the momentum of the ball is 145 kg.m/s .

The impulse applied by the bat on the ball is 14.5 kg.m/s .

(b) The average force applied by the bat on the ball is 7250 N.

Step by step solution

01

Formula used

The momentum of a particle: The momentumP of the particle鈥檚 mass mand velocity V.

P=mV

Newton鈥檚 second law says that the net force on a particle is equal to the rate of change of the particle鈥檚 momentum.

F=dpdt

Impulse and momentum theorem

J=P2-P1

02

Finding the magnitude of change in momentum and impulse for part (a)

Given in the question

Mass of the baseball,mb=0.145kg

Considering the direction of the batted ball as the positive direction

The velocity of the pitched ball vi=-45m/s

The velocity of the batted ballvf=55m/s

t=2ms

Initial momentum

p1=mvi=0.145kg-45m/s=-6.525kg.m/s

Final momentum

p2=mvf=0.145kg55m/s=7.975kg.m/s

Change in momentum

P=P2-P1=7.975kg.m/s--6.525kg.m/s=14.5kg.m/s

The net change in the momentum of the ball is 14.5 kg.m/s.

From impulse-momentum theorem.

J=P2-P1=7.975kg.m/s--6.525kg.m/s=14.5kg.m/s

The impulse applied by the bat on the ball is 14.5 kg.m/s .

03

Finding the magnitude of the average force for part (b)

From Newton鈥檚 second law

F=dpdtF=p2-p1t=7.975--6.525210-3=7250N

The average force applied by the bat on the ball is 7250 N.
