Question

A 0.30 kg ball is struck by a club with a +900 N force with a contact time of 0.017 s. What is the impulse on the ball?

Answer 1

15.3N/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of ball = 0.3kg

Force = 900N

Contact time = 0.017s

Unknown:

The impulse on the ball = ?

Solution:

Impulse is the product of force and time of action of the force;

Impulse = force x time

Now insert the parameters and solve;

Impulse = 900 x 0.017 = 15.3N/s
