1 A ball of mass 0.2 kg is hit directly by a bat. Just before the impact, the ball is travelling horizontally with speed \(18 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\). Just after the impact, the ball is travelling horizontally with speed \(32 \mathrm {~ms} ^ { - 1 }\) in the opposite direction.
- Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted on the ball.
- At time \(t\) seconds after the ball first comes into contact with the bat, the force exerted by the bat on the ball is \(k \left( 0.9 t - 10 t ^ { 2 } \right)\) newtons, where \(k\) is a constant and \(0 \leqslant t \leqslant 0.09\). The bat stays in contact with the ball for 0.09 seconds.
Find the value of \(k\).
