A baseball approaches home plate at a speed of 47.0 m/s, moving horizontally just before being hit by a bat. The batter hits a pop-up such that after hitting the bat, the baseball is moving at 58.0 m/s straight up. The ball has a mass of 145 g and is in contact with the bat for 1.60 ms. What is the average vector force the ball exerts on the bat during their interaction? (Let the +x-direction be in the initial direction of motion, and the +y-direction be up. ) F→on bat = N

A baseball approaches home plate at a speed of 47.0 m / s , moving horizontally just before being hit by a bat. The batter hits a pop-up such that after hitting the bat, the baseball is moving at 58.0 m / s straight up. The ball has a mass of 145 g and is in contact with the bat for 1.60 m s . What is the average vector force the ball exerts on the bat during their interaction? (Let the + x -direction be in the initial direction of motion, and the + y -direction be up.)
