A pitcher exerts an average horizontal force of 100 Non a 0.15 kg baseball during the delivery of the pitch.His hand and the ball move through a horizontaldisplacement of 1.5 m during this period of forceapplication.If the ball’s horizontal velocity was zero at the start ofthe delivery phase, how fast would the ball be goingat the end of the delivery phase when the pitcherreleased it?

After falling from rest from a height of 30-m, a 0.50-kg ball rebounds upward, reaching a maximum height of 20-m. If the contact between the ball and the ground lasted 20 milliseconds, what average force was exerted on the ball by the ground? (Hint: consider the change in velocity that has occurred between the interval just before and just after hitting the ground). Answer: 1.1 x 10^3 N
