Answer: - 25.2 kgm/s
Explanation: The mass of the ball is 0.5kg, and the initial velocity = 10.6m/s.
The final velocity is in opposite direction of the initial hence final velocity (v) = - 19.9 m/s
Impulse = change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum.
Final momentum = mass × final velocity
Final momentum = - 19.9 × 0.5
Final momentum = - 9.95 kgm/s
Initial momentum = mass × initial velocity
Initial momentum = 0.5 × 10.6 = 5.3kgm/s
Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum = - 19.9 - 5.3
Change in momentum = - 25.2 kgm/s
The negative sign implies that the change in momentum is the opposite direction relative to the first.
