    The force of hitting a baseball

    A baseball (m= 149 g) approaches a bat horizontally at a speed of 40.2 m/s (90mi/h) and is hit straight back at a speed of 45.6 m/s (102 mi/h). If the ball is in contact with the bat for a time of 1.10 ms, what is the average force exerted on the ball by the bat? Neglecting the weight of the ball, since it is so much less than t

    What is the magnitude of the normal force?
