A 0.148 kg baseball is initially thrown toward the batter at 44m/s. The batter strikes the ball with 1500N of force sending it at 36 m/s in the opposite direction. How long is the ball in contact with the bat?

not that long lol

Explanation:

what was the acceleration of the 2 kg cart?

⇒ 16.0 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 4 kg cart?

⇒ 8.1 cm/s2

what was the acceleration of the 6 kg cart?

⇒ 5.3 cm/s2

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2
