A 150 g baseball is thrown toward home plate by a speed of 40.0m/s. The batter hits the ball directly back at the pitcher with a speed of 50.0 m/s.
a) What is the change in momentum of the ball?
b) If the bat is in contact with the ball for 0.006 s, what is the average force exerted on the ball through the collision?
c) How does the force exerted by the bat on the ball compare to the force exerted by the ball on the bat? Describe answer using physics laws,
