Question

A baseball pitcher delivers a pitch by exerting an average force of 15 N for a time interval of 0.42 s. How much impulse does he impart to the ball ?

Answer 1

6.3Ns

Step-by-step explanation:

Impulse can be calculated by using the formula as follows:

I = F × ∆t

Where;

I = impulse (Ns)

F = Force exerted (N)

∆t = change in time (s)

According to the information provided in the question, I = ?, F = 15N, ∆t (time interval) = 0.42s

I = 15 × 0.42

I = 6.3Ns
