The baseball is traveling with a horizontal velocity of 85 mi/hr just before impact with the bat. Just after the impact, the velocity of the 5 1/8 -oz ball is 130 mi/hr directed at 35° to the horizontal as shown. Determine the x- and y-components of the average force R exerted by the bat on the baseball during the 0.005-sec impact. Comment on the treatment of the weight of the baseball 

(a) During the impact 

(b) Over the first few seconds after impact.
