A ball of mass 200g moving with a velocity of 25 m/s is struck by the batsman to return along the same path in opposite direction with the same speed . the collision of the ball with bat lasts for 0.5 sec find the impulse of the force and tge average force of impact

Dear Student,

Initial velocity= u
final velocity= -u

Change in momentum= m(u-(-u))  = 2mu   

2×0.2×2510 Kg-m/s ( N-s)Force= Rate of change in momentumF=0.2×2×250.520 N

Regards.

m=0.2kg
u=25m/s
t=0.5s
F=p/t=(0.2x25)/0.5=10N
​Impulse=10x0.5=5Ns
