    A cricket ball weighing \[100\,\,g\] and moving with a speed of \[20\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\] strikes a bat and remains in contact with it for\[0.1\,\,s\]. What is the force exerted by the ball on the bat?

    A) \[100\,\,N\]        

    B)        \[-10\,\,N\]

    C) \[-40\,\,N\]          

    D)        \[1N\]

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    \[m=0.1\,\,kg,\,\,V=20\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\] Before coming into contact with the bat, its momentum\[({{m}_{1}})=0.1\times 20=2\,\,kg\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\] After coming into contact with the bat, the direction of its velocity gets reversed, i.e. its velocity will be    \[=-20\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\],\[\therefore \]Now, its momentum\[({{m}_{2}})\]    \[=0.1\times -20=-2\,\,kg\,\,m\,\,{{s}^{-1}}\] \[\text{F=}\frac{\text{Change}\,\,\text{in}\,\,\text{momentum}}{\text{Time}}\]    \[=\]Rate of change of momentum. \[=\frac{{{m}_{2}}-{{m}_{1}}}{t}\],\[\therefore F=\frac{(-2)-2}{0.1}=\frac{-4}{0.1}=-40\,\,N\]
