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.
