Answer:
F= 3582j + 4350i
Explanation:
Given data
Let the average vector force be F
the initial and final momentum be Pi and Pf respectively
Velocity v1=42m/s
and v2=51m/s
Mass m=145g=0.145kg
Time t=1.7ms=0.0017s
We know that
F= pf - pi
The baseball initially moves in the –x direction
F= mv1 – (-mv2)
F = [mv1– (-mv2)] / t
F= [(0.145)(42.0)j + (0.145)(51.0i)] / 0.0017
F= 3582j + 4350i
