If a 0.4 kg baseball is traveling at 25 m/s straight into the air, how high does the ball go? Use energy to find the answer

A baseball player hits a ball straight up into the air. It leaves the bat with a speed of . In the absence of air resistance, how fast would ball be traveling when it is traveling, how fast would the ball be traveling when it is caught at same height above the ground as it left the bat? Explain.

A baseball is hit nearly straight up into the air with a speed of22 m/s.
(a) How high does it go?
m
(b) How long is it in the air?
s

In a baseball game, a batter hits the 0.150-kg ball straight back at the pitcher at 190 km/h.  If the ball is traveling at 160 km/h just before it reaches the bat, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted by the bat on it if the collision lasts 5.0 ms?
