1 An 80-kg baseball player hits a baseball doing 117 J of work over a distance 0.59 m. How much force did the bat exert on the ball?

force is mass*acceleration.

we have a very small mass: 11.4*0.001 kg

if we want 0.035n of force, we need an acceleration:

0.035 = 11.4*0.001*a

a = 0.035/(11.4*0.001) m/s^2

float.

archimedes' principle

denser than water sinks in water.

denser than mercury would sink in it

the force represented by vector a is normal force. if the hockey puck is moving to the right, when it is hit with a significant force by the hockey stick the puck will move off in a different direction. correct on edge.
