During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.200-kg ball changes from 20.0 m/s toward the wall to 12.0 m/s away from the wall. if the time the ball was in contact with the wall was 60.0 ms, what was the magnitude of the average force applied to the ball?

106.7 N

Explanation:

We can solve the problem by using the impulse theorem, which states that the product between the average force applied and the duration of the collision is equal to the change in momentum of the object:

where

F is the average force

is the duration of the collision

m is the mass of the ball

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

In this problem:

m = 0.200 kg

u = 20.0 m/s

v = -12.0 m/s

Solving for F,

And since we are interested in the magnitude only,

F = 106.7 N

v 154.9= 0.9 length length s little over 154.9cm
