PhysicsBowl 2019 Q19


19) Question 19 asks us to find the magnitude of the impulse on the ball described in the question. Impulse is defined as the change in momentum, so we can write this equation.

Where J is impulse, p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity

All we need to do next is plug in the given values into the equation. However, it is very important to realize that the final velocity is in the opposite direction as the initial velocity; thus it will have the opposite sign.

Where J is impulse, p is momentum, m is mass, and v is velocity

Answer: D
