A baseball with a mass of 135 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 40.2 m/s (90 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.10 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.2 m/s (101 mi/h). Determine the average force (in N) exerted on the ball by the bat. Neglect the weight of the ball (it is much smaller than the force of the bat) and choose the direction of the incoming ball to be positive. (Indicate the direction with the sign of your answer.) N

A space probe of mass 5.00 x 104 kg is traveling at 1.10 x 104 m/s through deep space. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. No forces act on the probe except that generated by its own engine. The engine exerts a constant external force of 4.00 x 105 N, directed parallel to the displacement, which is 2.50 x 106 m. Determine the final velocity of the probe.

Two students are pushing crates across a frictionless floor. The crates are initially at rest. Bing applies a horizontal force of 13 N to his crate. Bob, who is taller than Bing, pushes on his crate at an angle of 53 degrees below the horizontal, also with a force of 13 N. Find the ratio of the masses of the two crates if Bing's crate is moving at twice the speed of Bob's crate after they have traveled a distance of 23.5 m across the floor?
A duck has a mass of 2.50 kg. As the duck paddles, a force of 0.120 N acts on it in a direction due east. In addition, the current of the water exerts a force of 0.220 N in a direction of 53.0° south of east. When these forces begin to act, the velocity of the duck is 0.130 m/s in a direction due east. Find (a) the magnitude and (b) the direction (relative to due east) of the displacement that the duck undergoes in 2.60 s while the forces are acting. (
