Question
A tennis ball of mass m = 0.08 kg and speed v=29 ms strikes a wall at a 45∘ angle and rebounds with the same speed at 45∘. What is the magnitude of the impulse given to the ball? Express your answer to two significant figures and include the appropriate units.

Answer:
3.3 kg-m/s
Explanation:
The mass of the ball m = 0.08 kg
speed
= 29 m/s
angle oat which its strikes the wall = 45°
Final speed of rebound
= 29 m/s
angle of rebound = 45°
Momentum before collision
= m
cos ∅
==> 0.08 x 29 cos 45 = 1.64 kg-m/s
since the same variables are maintained in the rebound, then the momentum of rebound will be of the same magnitude, but in the opposite direction
The impulse is the change of momentum
