A baseball player uses a bat with mass mbat to hit a ball with mass mball. Right before he hits the ball, the bat’s initial velocity is 35.0 m/s, and the ball’s initial velocity is −30.0 m/s (the positive direction is along the positive x-axis). The bat and ball undergo a one-dimensional elastic collision. Find the speed of the ball after the collision. Assume that mbat  is much greater than mball, so the center of mass of the two objects is essentially at the bat.
