Answer

The magnitude of the average force on the ball from the bat is $~~2930~N$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the magnitude of the impulse on the ball is $~~5.86~kg~m/s$ We can find the magnitude of the average force on the ball: $F~t = J$ $F = \frac{J}{t}$ $F = \frac{5.86~kg~m/s}{2.00\times 10^{-3}~s}$ $F = 2930~N$ The magnitude of the average force on the ball from the bat is $~~2930~N$.
