Question
Now assume that the pitcher in Part D throws a 0.145-kg baseball parallel to the ground with a speed of 32 m/s in the +x direction. The batter then hits the ball so it goes directly back to the pitcher along the same straight line. What is the ball’s x-component of velocity just after leaving the bat if the bat applies an impulse of −8.4N⋅s to the baseball? Enter your answer numerically in meters per second using two significant figures.

Answer:
V2 = -25.93 m/s
Explanation:
First of all, we know that;
Momentum = mass x change in velocity
Thus;
Momentum = m(v2 – v1)
Also, we know that;
Impulse = force x time
And also that;
Momentum = Impulse
From the question, m = 0.145kg and V1 = 32m/s while impulse = -8.4 N.s
Thus;
0.145(v2 – 32) = -8.4
Now,
0.145v2 – 4.64 = -8.4
0.145v2 = -8.4 + 4.64
0.145v2 = -3.76
v2 = -3.76/0.145
= -25.931 m/s and to two significant figures gives -25.93 m/s
