Question

Transcribed Image Text:An estimated force-time curve for a baseball struck by a bat is shown in the figure. The values given are \( F_{\text{max}} = 19,000 \, \text{N} \), \( t_a = 1.5 \, \text{ms} \), and \( t_b = 2 \, \text{ms} \). From this curve, the objective is to determine the following:
### Diagram Explanation
The graph is a plot of force \( F \) (in Newtons) on the y-axis versus time \( t \) (in milliseconds) on the x-axis. The curve forms a triangle:
- The force increases linearly from 0 N at \( t = 0 \) to its maximum value \( F_{\text{max}} = 19,000 \, \text{N} \) at \( t_a = 1.5 \, \text{ms} \).
- It then decreases linearly back to 0 N at \( t_b = 2 \, \text{ms} \).
### Calculations
(a) **The magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball:**
The given answer is \( 4.75 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{s} \).
(b) **The average force exerted on the ball:**
The given answer is \( 2.375 \, \text{kN} \) (The entry is marked incorrect in the image).
The note prompts: **How do you define a time average of a quantity that varies as a function of time?**
