Momentum and CollisionHard

Question

A 150g tennis ball coming at a speed of 40m/s is hit straight back by a bat to a speed of 60m/s. The magnitude of the average force F on the ball, when it is in contect for 5 ms, is:

Options

A.2500N
B.3000N
C.3500N
D.4000N

Solution

The change in momentum
ᐃp = m(vf - vi)
= 0.150(60 - (-40))
= 0.150 × 100 = 15Ns
Thus, F = = 3 × 103N
