Answer:
The impulse is -20kg m/s.
Explanation:
given mass of ball = 0.4 kg
The ball is moving towards left with the initial velocity = 30m/s
The momentum in left direction P1 = mv1
= (0.4)(30)
= 12 kg m/s
The given velocity towards right = -20 m/s ( negative sign shows inverse direction)
Momentum towards right, P2 = mv2
P2 = (0.4)(-20)
P2 = -8 kg m/s
The Impulse = change in momentum
= P2 –P1
= -8-12
= -20 kg m/s
