Question: ( 5 0 pts ) The 5 oz . ball is translating with velocity vA = 8 0 ft / s perpendicular to the bat

(50pts) The 5 oz. ball is translating with velocity vA =80 ft/s perpendicular to the bat just before the impact. The player is swinging the 31 oz. bat with angular velocity =6 rad/s before the impact. Point C is the bats instantaneous center both before and after the impact. The distances b =14 in and =26 in. The bats moment of inertia about its cent of mass is IB =0.033 slug-ft2. The coefficient of restitution is e =0.6, and the duration of the impact is 0.008 s. Determine the magnitude of the velocity of the ball after the impact and the average force Ax exerted on the bat by the player during the impact if d =8 in.
