Question

The impulse of an object is also related to its change in momentum. Once the impulse is known, it can be used to find the change in momentum, or if either the initial final momentum is known, the other momentum can be found. Keep in mind that Because both impulse and momentum we vectors, It is essential to account far the direction of each vector. even in a one-dimensional problem. Part D Assume that a pitcher throws a baseball so that it travels in a straight line parallel to the ground. The batter then hits the ball so It goes directly back to the pitcher along the same straight line. Define the direction the pitcher originally throws the ball as the + direction. The impulse on the ball caused by the bat will be in the x direction

Explanation / Answer

the impulse is in the direction of applied force. in this case, the applided force on the ball is in opposite direction to the motion of the ball. that is negative x direction.

the impulse direction is negative x direction.
