Answer:
2.74 N-s
Explanation:
m = mass of the basketball thrown towards the floor = 0.60 kg
v₀ = initial speed of the ball before hitting the floor = 5.4 m/s
θ = angle made by the direction of motion of the ball with the vertical before and after the collision = 65°
I = Impulse delivered to it by the floor
Impulse delivered to the ball by the floor is given as
I = 2 m v₀ Cosθ
Inserting the values
I = 2 (0.60) (5.4) Cos65
I = 2.74 N-s
