1. A 0.144 kg baseball is pitched horizontally at 38.0 m/s. After the bat hits it, it moves at the same speed, but in
opposite direction.
a) What was the momentum of the ball before it hit the bat? After it hit the bat?
b) What was the change in momentum of the ball?
c) What was the impulse delivered by the bat?
d) If the bat and ball were in contact for 0.80 ms (milliseconds), what was the average force the bat exerted on the
ball?
2. A crate of mass 31.0 kg is pulled over the floor with a force of 275 N. The force makes an angle of 24.0° with the
horizontal. Assuming there is no friction between the crate and the floor, find the resultant force acting on the crate, the
acceleration of the crate, and the magnitude of the normal force.

3. A ball of mass 0.440 kg moving with a speed of 4.5 m/s collides head-on with a 0.220 kg ball at rest. If the collision is
elastic, what will be the speed of each ball after the collision?

4. A force P, 32 KN acts on the adjustable boom ABC as shown in the figure below. Replace the force P at C with an
equivalent force-couple system:
a) at A
b) at B

5. Locate the centroid of the shaded area.
