According to the impulse-momentum relationship Ft = change in mv,a falling baseball hits a player with a force F.The t in the equation is the time

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The impulse-momentum relationship relates the force applied to an object to the change in its momentum. In this case, the force F is the force with which the baseball hits the player, and t refers to the time during which the force is applied, in other words, the time of contact between the ball and the player. Therefore, the correct answer is B - the time of contact of the ball hitting the player. The other choices are not relevant to the impulse-momentum relationship.
