an impulse of 20 n*s is exerted on a 0.30 kg baseball traveling 40 m/s west. what is the velocity of the baseball after it has been hit?



Answer :

The velocity of the baseball after it has been hit is 106.67 m/s and moving towards east.

Given that, impulse = 20 N/s

Mass m = 0.3 kg

Initial velocity of the baseball Vi = 40 m/s

We know the formula for impulse as change in momentum. It can be written as,

Impulse = m ( Vf - Vi)

20 = 0.3* (Vf - 40)

66.67 = -Vf - 40

Vf + 66.67 + 40 = 0

Vf = - 106.67 m/s

The velocity of the baseball after it has been hit is 106.67 m/s but in the opposite direction to the initial velocity direction of the ball.

Thus, the ball moves with 106.67 m/s towards east.
