Answer:
a) 15.49
b) Opposite to the ball's initial velocity
c) 258.16N
Explanation:
a)
[tex]\Delta p=m \Delta v\\\\\Delta p= (0.434)(13.0-(-22.7)) \\\\\Delta p=(0.434)(35.7)\approx 15.49 kg \cdot m/s[/tex]
b)
Since the player is kicking the ball in the opposite direction to which it came, the impulse is being directed opposite to the ball's initial velocity.
c)
[tex]\Delta p= F \Delta t \\\\\\F=\dfrac{\Delta p}{\Delta t} \\\\\\F=\dfrac{15.49 kg \cdot m/s}{0.06 s}\approx 258.16N[/tex]
Hope this helps!
