Explanation / Answer

A Tennis ball having a mass m = 0.060kg          Initialmoving speed   v i = 12 m/s        final speed which isrebound in opposite direction is v f = - 18m/s                 Initial momentum pi = mvi                                                = 0.060 kg * 12 m/s                                                = 0.72 kg m/s                   Final momentum p f = m vf                                                    = 0.060 kg * ( - 18 m/s )                                                      =- 1.08 kg m/s                  change in momentum p = pi -pf                                                          = 0.72 kg m/s - ( - 1.08 kg m/s )                                                         = 1.8 kg m/s
