Formula : Impulse = Ft Formula : mv - mu


F =
or t
Impulse = mv - mu F = force
m= mass of an object
F = force v = final velocity
m= mass of an object u = initial velocity
v = final velocity t = time taken
u = initial velocity
t = time taken Type of quantity : Vector quantity

Question 1 Question 2
A baseball of mass 0.2 kg is moving at 30 m s-1 to a A ball is moving to the left with 25 m s-1 hitting a
batter at the left. It is hit by the bat and rebounds at wall and rebounds at a velocity of 55 m s-1 . Given
a velocity of 70 m s-1 . Given that the time of impact that the force exerts on the ball is 600 N and the
is 0.05 s, what is the impulse and impulsive force? time of reaction is 0.02 s, find the impulse and the
Solution mass of the ball.
