Answer:
i. 15.6 m/s
ii. I = 1.44 KNs
Explanation:
The impulse, I, on a body is the product of force applied on it and the time it acts.
i.e I = F x t
Impulse is sometimes expressed as the change in momentum of a body. It is measured in Ns.
i. mass, m, of the player = 92 kg
initial velocity of the player, u = 9.4 m/s
final velocity of the player, v = 6.2 m/s
Since he bounces back on hitting the pole, then the sign of initial and final velocities are of opposite sign.
So that,
change in velocity of the player = final velocity - initial velocity
= 6.2 - (-9.4)
= 6.2 + 9.4
= 15.6 m/s
change in velocity of the player is 15.6 m/s
ii. Impulse, I = m(v - u)
= 92 x 15.6
= 1435.2
Impulse on the player is 1.44 KNs.
