Question

A baseball with a mass of 0.145 kilograms collides with a bat at a velocity of 44 meters/second. The ball bounces off the bat with a speed of 49 meters/second in the opposite direction. What is the impulse?A baseball with a mass of 0.145 kilograms collides with a bat at a velocity of 44 meters/second. The ball bounces off the bat with a speed of 49 meters/second in the opposite direction. What is the impulse?

A.
4.32 newton∙seconds
B.
7.25 newton∙seconds
C.
8.23 newton∙seconds
D.
9.42 newton∙seconds
E.
13.5 newton∙seconds

Answer 1

Answer: 7.25 Ns

Explanation:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

•Like any problem in physics this can also be solved in multiple ways

•I’m considering the mechanical branch of physics for this situation

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

•This is alctually a basic concept of mechanics know as impulse

•Impulse is given in magnitude as Force x time

•Mathematically represented as

I = Ft = m(v - u) = .0.145(49-44 ) = •7.25Ns•

Based on my knowledge of physics I’m gonna go with option B
