Impulse and impulsive force?
A tennis player hits an oncoming ball with a mass of 0.2kg and a velocity of 20ms-1. The ball
rebounds with a velocity of 40ms-1. The time taken un the collision between the ball tennis
racket is 0.01s.
a) What is the impulse experienced by the ball?

b) What is the impulsive force exerted on the tennis ball?

c) If the tennis ball which has a velocity of 20ms-1 is hit by the racket with a force of 50N
and the ball rebounds with a velocity of 5ms-1. What’s is the time of collision between the
ball and he racket?

Answer
Impulse equals change in momentum. The ball's momentum change is
m(v1 + v2) = 0.2*60 = 12 N-s

Impulse also equals average force times time, so

12 = F*t = F*0.01, F = 1200 N
Momentum change = 25*0.2 = 5 N-s = F*t. For F of 50 N, t = 5/50 = 0.1s

Answer

impulse is the change in momentum of the ball

therefore mv1 - (-mv2)= impulse.. mv2 is -ve because of cartesian sign convection
=> a) m[v1 + v2]= 0.2 [20 * 40]= 0.2 * 800= 160 kg m/s
b) impulse= F * t where f is force and t is time of collision
160 = F*0.01
F= 16000 newton
c) Impulse = change in momentum
F * t = p2 - p1
t = m [v1 - (-v2)] / F
t = 0.2 [20 + 5] / 50
t = 0.1 sec
