Answer:
Force = 5.22 N
Explanation:
According to Newton's Second Law of motion:
[tex]Force = Rate\ of\ Change\ of\ Momentum\\\\Force = \frac{mv_f-mv_i}{t}\\[/tex]
where,
m = mass of ball = 145 g = 0.145 kg
vf = final speed of ball after hit = 25 m/s
vi = initial speed of ball before hit = - 11 m/s (negative sign due to opposite direction)
t = time of contact = 1 s
Therefore,
[tex]Force = \frac{(0.145\ kg)(25\ m/s)-(0.145\ kg)(-11\ m/s)}{1\ s} \\\\[/tex]
Force = 5.22 N
