Impulse: A 475-gram ball is traveling horizontally at 12.0 m/s to the left when it is suddenly struck horizontally by a bat, causing it to reverse direction and initially travel at 8.50 m/s to the right. If the bat produced an average force of 1275 N on the ball, for how long (in milliseconds) was it in contact with the ball?
