uring a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from the w

all. If the time the ball was in contact with the wall was 60.0 ms, what was the magnitude of the average force applied to the ball? During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from the wall. If the time the ball was in contact with the wall was 60.0 ms, what was the magnitude of the average force applied to the ball? 26.7 N 16.7 N 13.3 N 107 N 40.0 N

Answer:

107 N, option d

Explanation:

Given that

mass of the ball, m = 0.2 kg

initial velocity of the ball, u = 20 m/s

final velocity of the ball, v = -12 m/s

time taken, Δt = 60 ms

Solving this question makes us remember "Impulse Theorem"

It states that, "that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object"

Mathematically, it is represented as

FΔt = m(v - u), where

F = the average force

Δt = time taken

m = mass of the ball

v = final velocity of the ball

u = initial velocity of the ball

From the question we were given, if we substitute the values in it, we have

F = ?

Δt = 60 ms = 0.06s

m = 0.2 kg

v = -12 m/s
