Find the maximum height of the ball after the collision

[xshezsciencex]

A 0.300kg baseball has a velocity of magnitude 12.0m/s and angle 35 degrees. The ball collides with the bat with a velocity of 10m/s with a collision of 2.00millmeters/second.

(a) What are the magnitude and directions (relative to the positive direction of the x axis) of the impulse on the ball from the bat?

(b)What are the magnitude and direction of the average force on the ball from the bat?

(c) Find the maximum height of the ball after the collision.

I attempted the impulse which equals (delta)mvball/ (delta)mvbat = (0.300*12) / (2*10)
which equals 0.18,
but I am confused to how i would find the average force and maximum height.

(a) The magnitude of the impulse on the ball from the bat is 0.18 N*s and its direction is 35 degrees relative to the positive direction of the x axis. (b) The magnitude of the average force on the ball from the bat is 0.09 N and its direction is 35 degrees relative to the positive direction of the x axis. (c) The maximum height of the ball after the collision can be calculated using the equation h = (v_0^2 * sin2θ) / (2g), where h is the maximum height, v_0 is the initial velocity of the ball, θ is the angle of the ball, and g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.81 m/s^2). Substituting in the given values, we get: h = (12.0^2 * sin(35°)^2) / (2 * 9.81) ≈ 1.45 m

(a) The magnitude of the impulse on the ball from the bat can be calculated using the equation J = m(vf - vi), where m is the mass of the ball and vf and vi are the final and initial velocities, respectively. In this case, the initial velocity of the ball is 12 m/s at an angle of 35 degrees, and the final velocity is 10 m/s. Therefore, the magnitude of the impulse is J = (0.300 kg)(10 m/s cos 35 degrees - 12 m/s cos 35 degrees) = -0.36 Ns. The direction of the impulse can be determined by the direction of the final velocity, which is opposite to the initial velocity. Therefore, the direction of the impulse is in the negative x direction.

(b) The average force on the ball from the bat can be calculated using the equation F = J/Δt, where J is the impulse and Δt is the time over which the impulse acts. In this case, the impulse is -0.36 Ns and the time of the collision is 2.00 milliseconds, or 0.002 seconds. Therefore, the average force is F = (-0.36 Ns) / (0.002 s) = -180 N. The direction of the average force is the same as the direction of the impulse, which is in the negative x direction.

(c) To find the maximum height of the ball after the collision, we can use the conservation of energy principle. At the highest point of the ball's trajectory, it has only potential energy and no kinetic energy. Therefore, we can equate the initial kinetic energy of the ball to its final potential energy. The initial kinetic energy of the ball can be calculated using the equation KE = 1/2 mv^2, where m is the mass of the ball and v is the initial velocity. In this case, the initial velocity is 10 m/s. The final potential energy of the ball can be calculated using the equation PE = mgh, where m is the mass of the ball, g is the acceleration due to gravity (9.8 m/s^2), and h is the maximum height. Equating the two energies and solving for h, we get h = (10 m/s)^2 / (2 * 9.8 m/s^2) = 5.1 meters. Therefore, the maximum height of the ball after the
