Question

A 1.2-kg ball drops vertically onto the floor, hitting with a speed of 25 m/s. Consider the impulse during this collision. Would the magnitude of the impulse be greater: (i) if the ball rebounded with a speed of 10 m/s (the ball was made of rubber), or (ii) if the ball stuck to the floor (the ball was made of clay)? Support your answer with a calculation.

Answer 1

Answer:

3kg

Explanation:

impulse = MV

then

m1v1=m2v2

when the values are subtitude

then

m2=1.2*25/10

m2=30kg//
