Question

PLEASE HELP!! What is the impulse experienced by a 93 kg ball player who is running at 6.0

m/s, gets tackled, and slows down to 1.0 m/s

Answer 1

Assuming the tackle is instantaneous, the impulse experienced by the ballplayer is

$$I=\Delta p=m\Delta v=93kg\cdot (6.0m/s-1.0m/s)=552kg\cdot m/s$$
