At the county fair, Chris throws a 0.13 kg baseball at a 2.5 kg wooden milk bottle, hoping to knock it off its stand and win a prize. The ball bounces straight back at 25 % of its incoming speed, knocking the bottle straight forward. What is the bottle's speed, as a percentage of the ball's incoming speed?
At the county fair, Chris throws a 0.13 kg baseball at a 2.5 kg wooden milk...
Now assume that the pitcher throws a 0.145 kg baseball parallel to the ground with a speed of 32 m/s in the +x direction. The batter then hits the ball so it goes directly back to the pitcher along the same straight line. What is the ball's velocity just after leaving the bat if the bat applies an impulse of -8.4 N*s to the baseball? I just cant figure out how to do this problem. Please help!
