Apitcher delivers a fast ball with a velocity of 43 m/s to the south. the batter hits the ball and gives it a velocity of 51 m/s to the north. what was the average acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the ball during the 1.0 ms when it was in contact with the bat?

Assuming north as positive direction, the initial and final velocities of the ball are:
(with negative sign since it is due south)

the time taken is , so the average acceleration of the ball is given by

And the positive sign tells us the direction of the acceleration is north.

1) when you rub your hands together quickly, the kinetic energy is converted to mechanical energy.2) thermal energy from the sun travels to earth as infrared waves.3) energy is transferred through the matter of space by electromagnetic waves. 4) when a match is burned, chemical potential energy is converted to thermal and radiant energy. 5) seismicwaves are caused by back and forth movement , or vibration, of an object. 6) mechanicalenergy in an engine changes thermal energy into kinetic energy to make a car move.
