A 200 g ball moving at 5 m/s strikes a wall perpendicular and rebounds elastically at the same speed. The impulse given the wall is

Respuesta :

Impulse in physics is the integral of force, F, with respect with time, t. This value is a vector quantity since force is a vector quantity as well. It can be calculated from the product of force and time. We do as follows:

Impulse = Ft
               = m(a)(t)
               = m(v/t)t
               = mv
               = .200 (5)
               = 1 N-s
