Question:

A ball of mass 0.15 kg is dropped from a height 10 m, strikes the ground and rebounds to the same height. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball is (g = 10 m/s2) nearly : 

Options:

4.2 kg m/s

2.1 kg m/s

1.4 kg m/s

0 kg m/s

Correct Answer:

4.2 kg m/s

Explanation:

Impulse = linear change in momentum = pf - pi

v = \(\sqrt{2 g H}\)

g = 10 m/s2 ; H = 10 m

v = 10\(\sqrt{2}\)

pi = mv(j) = 2 x 0.15 x 10\(\sqrt{2}\) (j)  ; pf = mv(-j) = 2 x 0.15 x 10\(\sqrt{2}\) (-j

Impulse : I = 4.2 kg m/s
