Answer:
The change in momentum, p = -4.539 kg-m/s
Explanation:
It is given that,
Mass of the ball, m = 0.89 kg
Initial speed of the ball, u = 3.8 m/s
Final speed of the ball, v = -1.3 m/s (as it rebounds)
Let p is the change in linear momentum of the ball. We know that the linear momentum is equal to the product of mass and velocity. It is given by :
[tex]p=m(v-u)[/tex]
[tex]p=0.89\ kg\times ((-1.3)-3.8)\ m/s[/tex]
p = -4.539 kg-m/s
So, the change in linear momentum of the ball is 4.539 kg-m/s. Hence, this is the required solution.
