Mass of base ball = 0.25kg
Time = t = 0.0075/s
Force = F = 18,500N
Impulse = J = ?
Formula = Impulse = Force x time
= 18,500x0.0075
= 138.75 N-S
Rounded: 140 kg
Answer:
Impulse, J = 140 kg m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the baseball, m = 0.25 kg
Force exerted on the baseball, F = 18,500 N
Time of contact of baseball and bat is, t = 0.0075 s
We have to find the impulse delivered to the bat. Impulse is defined as the product of force and time. It is also equivalent to change in momentum.
So, J = F × t
[tex]J=18500\ N\times 0.0075\ s[/tex]
J = 138.75 N-s
or
J = 140 kg m/s
Hence, this is the required solution.
