Answer:
9.6 Ns
Explanation:
Note: From newton’s second law of motion,
Impulse = change in momentum
I = m(v-u)……………… Equation 1
Where I = impulse, m = mass of the ball, v = final velocity, u = initial velocity.
Given: m = 2.4 kg, v = 2.5 m/s, u = -1.5 m/s (rebounds)
Substitute into equation 1
I = 2.4[2.5-(-1.5)]
I = 2.4(2.5+1.5)
I = 2.4(4)
I = 9.6 Ns
