- 21- A baseball with a mass of 147 g is thrown horizontally with a speed of 41.1 m/s (92 mi/h) at a bat. The ball is in contact with the bat for 1.00 ms and then travels straight back at a speed of 45.6 m/s (102 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.)arrow_forwardNASA's Saturn V rockets that launched astronauts to the moon were powered by the strongest rocket engine ever developed, providing 6.77 x 106 N of thrust while burning fuel at a rate of 2.63 x 10³ kg/s.

What is the impulsive force (F) if the car goes from 55 mph (88.5 km/h - 24.6 m/s) to 0 m/s in 0.3 sec? Force Units 2.) What if the same car, traveling at the same speed as before, had "crumple zones" (longer time to stop). When this car hits the wall, it takes 0.75 seconds to come to a rest. What is the new impulsive force (F) on the driver? Force - Units 3.) In a car collision, the driver's body must change speed from a high value to zero. This is true whether or not an airbag is used. How does an airbag reduce injuries? 4.) A baseball is pitched at 35 m/s is hit by a batter. After leaving the bat, the ball has a velocity of 50 m/s. The ball weighs 0.15 kg. The time elapsed during the collision was 0.0015 seconds. What was the force (F) exerted on the baseball? Hint: Watch your signs of the velocities, the direction changes. Force = Unitsarrow_forward
