JEE Main Physics question
A cricket ball of mass 150 g collides straight with a bat with a velocity of 10 ms⁻¹. The batsman hits it straight back with a velocity of 20 ms⁻¹. If the ball remains in contact with the bat for 0.1 s, then the average force exerted by the bat on the ball is
Answer: (B)
Solution
F = mΔv/t = 0.15×(20+10)/0.1 = 45 N.
