The magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall is 225.469 N.
<h3>What is impulse?</h3>
The change in momentum is equal to the product of impact force applied while colliding and time for that impact.
Impulse F. t = m (Vf -Vi)
where, Vf is the final velocity and Vi is the initial velocity.
Given is a 3.42 kg steel ball strikes a massive wall at 14.3 m/s at an angle of α = 61.5° with respect to the plane of the wall. It bounces off with the same speed and angle. The ball is in contact with the wall for 0.207 s
Substitute the values into the expression, we get
Impulse = 2 x mvcosθ
Impulse= 2 x 3.42 x 14.3 x cos 61.5°
Impulse = 46.672 kg.m/s
The impact force can be written as
F.t = I
Put the given values, we have
F = 46.672 / 0.207
F = 225.469 N
Thus, the magnitude of force exerted by the wall is 225.469 N
