A ball of mass 0.45 kg which is initially at rest is hit by a bat. The bat remains in contact with the ball for 3×10-3 s. During this time period the force on the ball by the bat is given as Ft=α×106t-β×109t2 N where α and β are constants. The ball's speed immediately as it loses contact with the bat is 20 m s-1. The correct relation between α and β is

A man weighing 70 kg, riding a motorbike weighing 230 kg at 54 km h-1 accelerates at 1 m s-2, when suddenly a child rushes into the road. The rider manages to apply brakes screeching to bring his vehicle to a halt in 3 s, just in time to save the child. What should have been the average retarding force on the vehicle?
