Assume that a 15-kg ball moving at 8 m/s strikes a wall perpendicularly and rebounds elastically at the same speed. What is the

amount of impulse given to the wall? Be sure to show all work to support your answer.

So we are told that the ball rebounds elastically. What this means momentum and kinetic energy is conserved. So our initial condition equals our final condition.

Our initial condition is when the ball is moving at 8m/s and is 15 kg.

p_0 = (8m/s)(15kg) = 120kg*m/s

Next we our told it bounces off in the negative direction moving at 8m/s

p_f = (-8m/s)(15kg) = -120kg*m/s

Impulse, denoted as J, which is the change in momentum.

J=p_f-p_0 = -120kg*m/s - 120kg*m/s = -240kg*m/s

J = -240kg*m/s

Hope this helps! :D

isotopes are the same element, but have different numbers of neutrons (but still have the same number of electrons and protons), hence have a different mass number.

Answer:

Well I'm going to go with A.

Explanation:

As per the question the mass of the boy is 40 kg.

The boy sits on a chair.

We are asked to calculate the force exerted by the boy on the chair at sea level.

The force exerted by boy on the chair while sitting on it is nothing else except the force of gravity of earth i.e the weight of the body .The direction of that force is vertically downward.

At sea level the acceleration due to gravity g = 9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, the weight of the boy  [m is the mass of the body]

we have m = 40 kg.

                             Therefore, w = 40 kg ×9.8 m/s^2

                                             =392 N kg m/s^2

                                              = 392 N

392 is not an option but I'm guessing you can round down 2 .to option A. 390...?
