Question

A cricket ball of mass 250 g collides with a bat with velocity 10 m/sand returns with
the same velocity within 0.01 second. The force acted on bat is​

Answer 1

Given:-

• Mass of ball ,m = 250g = 0.25 Kg

• Initial velocity, u = 10m/s

• Final velocity, v = 10m/s

• Time taken ,t = 0.01 s

To Find:-

• Force ,F

Solution:-

Firstly we calculate the acceleration of the ball

As we know that acceleration is the rate of change of velocity at per unit time.

• a = v-u/t

Substitute the value we get

→ a = 10-10/0.01

→ a = 0/0.01

→ a = 0m/s²

Now, Calculating the force

• F = m×a

Substitute the value we get

→ F = 0.025 ×0

→ F = 0N

Therefore, the force acting on the bat is 0N.
