BEFORE Pivot No torque 50 m s 0 8 m 0 35 00 AFTER 40 m s A baseball of mass 0 15 kg is initially traveling horizontally at 50 m s It is struck by a bat after which the baseball is still traveling horizontally but in exactly the opposite direction from its initial motion at a speed of 40 m s Consider the collision of the bat and the ball Assume that before the collision the bat is moving in a horizontal circle at an angular velocity of rad s Assume that the player holding the bat exerts no torque The bat has a moment of inertia of 0 30 kg m2 about the pivot and the ball hits at a point that is 80 cm away from the pivot After the collision the bat is still swinging in the same direction around the same pivot but with a reduced angular velocity of 0 350 Find the numerical value of 0
