Answer:
The magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.
Explanation:
Given;
mass of snowball, m = 120 g = 0.12 kg
velocity of the snowball, v = 7.5 m/s
duration of the collision between the snowball and the wall, t = 0.15 s
Magnitude of the average force can be calculated by applying Newton's second law of motion;
F = ma
where;
a is acceleration = v / t
a = 7.5 / 0.15
a = 50 m/s²
F = ma
F = 0.12 x 50
F = 6 N
Therefore, the magnitude of the average force on the wall during the collision is 6 N.
