The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.

To solve the problem above, we use the formula of impulse.

⇒ Formula:

  • I = m(v-u)................. Equation 1

Where:

  • I = Impulse delivered to the baseball
  • m = mass of the baseball
  • v = Final velocity of the baseball
  • u = initial speed of the baseball

From the question,

⇒ Given:

  • m = 0.8 kg
  • u = 67 m/s
  • v = -44 m/s

⇒ Substitute these values into equation 1

  • I = 0.8(-44-67)
  • I = 0.8(-111)
  • I = -88.8
  • I ≈ -89 kgm/s

Note: The negative tells that the impulse is in the same direction as the final velocity and therefore can be ignored.

Hence, The Impulse delivered to the baseball is 89 kgm/s.
