Asoccer ball (mass = 0.43 kg) is moving at a speed of 20 m/s when it is kicked with a force of 300 n resulting in it going in the opposite direction with the same speed as before. what is the magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball?

8.6 kgm/s or 8.6 Ns

Explanation:

Given:

Mass, m = 0.43 kg

Speed, v = 20 m/s

Force, F = 300 N

From Newton's second law of motion, the force applied to a body is directly proportional to the rate of change of its linear momentum in the direction of the applied force..

                               F(t₂ - t₁) = m(v₂ - v₁)

                               FΔt = mΔv

                               Impulse = change in momentum

We can calculate the momentum of the soccer ball and equate it to impulse.

    momentum of the soccer ball = mass × velocity

                                                      = 0.43 kg × 20 m/s

                                                      = 8.6 kgm/s

Since impulse equals change in momentum of a body, then,

The magnitude of the impulse delivered to the ball = 8.6 kgm/s or 8.6 Ns                

you cant move and you feel like someones pushing you down onto your bed it can feel like you want to get up but you just can't it can be extremely scary
