Question

A 0.5 kg ball moving with a speed of 12 m s - 1 strikes a hard wall at an angle of 30 ° with the wall. It is reflected with the same speed at the same angle. If the ball is in contact with the wall for 0.25 s , the average force acting on the wall is, 96 N, 48 N, 24 N, 12 N

Here, F × t = change in momentum = 2 m v sin θ ∴ F = 2 m v sin θ t = 2 × 0.5 × 12 × sin 30 o 0.25 = 48 × 1 2 = 24 N
