(c) m =150g =3/20kg

Time of contact =0.001s

U=126km/h= 126 × 1000 60 × 60 = 35 m s

V= -35m/s

Change in momentum of the ball = m (v-u)= 3 20 - 35 - 35 k g m / s

=21/2

F= dp/dt=- 21 / 2 0.001 N = - 1.05 × 10 4 N

Here – negative sign indicates that force will be opposite to the direction of movement of the ball be
