Question
In t-ball, young players use a bat to hit a stationary ball off a stand. The 140 g ball has about the same mass as a baseball, but it is larger and softer. In one hit, the ball leaves the bat at 12 m/s after being in contact with the bat for 2.0 ms . Assume constant acceleration during the hit.
a. What is the acceleration of the ball?
b. What is the net force on the ball during the hit?

Answer:
a)
, b) 
Explanation:
a) The physical system for the ball is modelled after the Impulse Theorem. The Impulse to accelerate the ball is:
The acceleration of the ball is derived as follows:
b) The net forced is obtained by the use of the concept of force for a system with a constant mass:
