2. Cars used to be built as

rigid as possible to withstand collisions. Today, though, cars are designed to
have
"crumple zones" that collapse upon impact. What is the advantage of this new design?

52.0m/s. If the contact time between the bat and the ball is 3.00x10-3s, calculate the average force
between the bat and the ball during contact.
