A cricket bat strikes a ball of mass 0.16 kg travelling towards it. The ball initially hits the bat at a speed of 25 m s-1 and returns along the same path with the same speed. The time of impact is 0.0030 s. You may assume no force is exerted on the bat by the cricketer during the actual collision.
