3. A 140g baseball is struck by a baseball bat when the baseball is moving horizontally at 35m/s. After the ball hits the bat, it is moving at 45m/s, 30° above the horizontal. The baseball was in contact with the bat for 5ms. a) What is the change in kinetic energy AEK = Ekf - Eki during this collision? 30° 35m/s 45m/s b) What is the average power provided by the bat to the ball during this collision?

3. A 140g baseball is struck by a baseball bat when the baseball is moving horizontally at 35 m/s. After the ball hits the bat, it is moving at 45 m/s, 30° above the horizontal. The baseball was in contact with the bat for 5 ms.
a) What is the change in kinetic energy \(\Delta E_K = E_{Kf} - E_{Ki}\) during this collision?
b) What is the average power provided by the bat to the ball during this collision?
**Diagram Explanation**
The diagram shows a baseball being hit by a bat. Initially, the baseball moves horizontally at a speed of 35 m/s. After being struck, its velocity changes to 45 m/s at an angle of 30° above the horizontal. The illustration visually indicates the swing of the bat and the resulting change in the direction and magnitude of the baseball's velocity.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2Ff9150cb0-c0bc-425f-af9e-d612c3f65210%2F47fd191a-70eb-4a81-9fae-80581a322359%2Fhk4tcph_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
