Change in Momentum and Impulse

AP Physics 1· difficulty 1/5

A 0.20 kg0.20~\text{kg} ball at 5 m/s5~\text{m/s} is struck and rebounds at 5 m/s5~\text{m/s} (opposite direction). The impulse is

  • A

    00

  • B

    10 N⋅s10~\text{N·s}

  • C

    1 N⋅s1~\text{N·s}

  • D

    2 N⋅s2~\text{N·s}

Explanation

J=Δp=m(vfvi)=0.20(5(5))=2 N⋅sJ = \Delta p = m(v_f - v_i) = 0.20(5 - (-5)) = 2~\text{N·s}.
