What is the impulse delivered to the ball by the bat? If the bat and ball are in contact for 3.00 ms, what is the magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by the bat?

A baseball player pitches a fastball toward home plate at a speed of 41.0 m/s. The batter swings, connects with the ball of mass 220 g, and hits it so that the ball leaves the bat with a speed of 37.0 m/s. Assume that the ball is moving horizontally just before and just after the collision with the bat.
