Velocity of the ball just before getting hit = sqrt(2(-10m/s^2)*(-20m)) = 20m/s
After the ball is hit it reaches a hit 45 m with -10m/s^2 acceleration. Note: The bat force is not counted here as it is temporary.
Velocity just after the ball is struck = sqrt(2*10*45)=30m/s = -30m/s (because it is opposite to earlier reference)
Impulse = change in momentum = 0.05kg(-30-20m/s) = -2.5Ns
F=-200N
t=J/F = 2.5/200 = 1/80
Hence the answer is (C)
But wait for an expert review of the question!
