s spiked so that its incoming velocity of +3.27 m/s is changed to an outgoing velocity of -23.9 m/s. The mass of the volleyball is 0.350 kg. What is the magnitude of the impulse that the player applies to the ball?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Impulse, J = 9.50 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Mass of the volleyball, m = 0.35 kg

Incoming velocity, u = +3.27 m/s

Outgoing velocity, v = -23.9 m/s

We need to find the magnitude of the impulse that the player applies to the ball. It is equal to the change in momentum. It is given by :

[tex]J=m(v-u)[/tex]

[tex]J=0.35\ kg(-23.9\ m/s-3.27\ m/s)[/tex]

J = -9.50 kg-m/s

So, the impulse that the player applies to the ball is 9.5 m/s but in opposite direction.
