Figure shows a 0.300 kg baseball just before and just after it collides with a bat. Just before, the ball has velocity `vecv_1` of magnitude 12.0 m/s and angle `theta_1=35.0^@` Just after, it is traveling directly upward with velocity `vecv_2` of magnitude 10.0 m/s The duration of the collision is 2.00 ms. What are the (a) magnitude and (b) direction (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the impulse on the ball from the bat? What are the (c) magnitude and (d) direction of the average force on the ball from the bat?

Answer

(a)5.86 N.s ; (b) `59.8^@` measured counterclockwise from the +x axis ; (c) `approx 2.93 xx10^3` N ; (d)`59.8^@` measured counterclockwise from the +x axis.
