Answer:
(a) p = 3.4 kg-m/s (b) 37.78 N.
Explanation:
Mass of a basketball, m = 0.4 kg
Initial velocity of the ball, u = -5.7 m/s (as it comes down so it is negative)
It rebounds upward at a speed of 2.8 m/s (as it rebounds so positive)
(a) Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
p = m(v-u)
p = 0.4 (2.8-(-5.7))
p = 3.4 kg-m/s
(b) Impulse = change in momentum
Ft = 3.4
We have, t = 0.09 s
Hence, this is the required solution.
