A stationary ball of mass $$\(m\)$$ is hit by a bat. The ball leaves the bat with velocity $$\(v\)$$. The bat is in contact with the ball for a short time $$\(\Delta t\)$$. What is the average force of the bat on the ball?

A.
\(m v \Delta t\)
B.
\(\frac{m v}{\Delta t}\)
C.
\(\frac{1}{2} m v^{2} \Delta t\)
D.
\(\frac{\frac{1}{2} m v^{2}}{\Delta t}\)

Answer:

B

Knowledge points:

4.1.1 understand that mass is the property of a body that resists change in motion
4.1.2 recall the relationship F=ma and solve problems using it, appreciating that acceleration and resultant force are always in the same direction
4.1.3 define and use linear momentum as the product of mass and velocity
4.1.4 define and use force as rate of change of momentum
4.1.5 state and apply each of Newton’s laws of motion
