a baseball with mass m=0.14kg has vo=-38m/s as it approaches the bat. the bat applies a force larger than the weight of the ball. the ball departs with a vf=58m/s. what is the impulse/momentum applied to the ball? if ∆t=1.6x10^-3s, find the average external net force on the ball
p=m(∆v) p=13.4kg m/s Fnet=∆p/∆t Fnet=8400N
