Question

A 0.500 kg ball falls directly downonto concrete, hitting it with a speed of 12.5 m/s and rebounding directly upward with a speedof 3.00 m/s. Extend a y axis upward    (a) What is the change in the ball'smomentum?
   (b) What is the impulse on the ball?    (c) What is the impulse on theconcrete?

   (b) What is the impulse on the ball?    (c) What is the impulse on theconcrete?

Explanation / Answer

a) the change is momentum M=12,5*m+3*m=15,5m=7,75(kgm/s) b) the impluse on the ball is equal to the change of momentum =7,75kgm/s c) the impluse on the concrete is equal to the impulse on theball(newton 3rd law) so it is also 7,75kgm/s
