A basketball player drops a 0.5-kg basketball vertically so that it is traveling at 5.4 m/s when it reaches the floor. The ball rebounds upward at a speed of 2.6 m/s. Determine (a) the magnitude and direction of the ball's change in momentum and (b) the average net force that the floor exerts on the ball if the collision lasts 0.12 s.

a) The magnitude and direction of the ball's change in momentum is 4 kilogram-meter per second upwards.

b) The average net force that the floor exerts on the ball if the collision lasts 0.12 seconds is .

Explanation:

a) From Principle of Momentum Conservation and Impact Theorem, we represent the situation of the ball as follows:

(Eq. 1)

Where:

- Mass of the ball, measured in kilograms.

, - Velocities of the ball before and after impact.

- Average net force, measured in newtons.

- Collision lapse, measured in seconds.

Now we clear impact within expression:

(Eq. 1b)

If we know that , and , the magnitude and direction of the ball's change in momentum is:

The magnitude and direction of the ball's change in momentum is 4 kilogram-meter per second upwards.

b) The average net force is found by dividing result in part a) by given time. That is:

The average net force that the floor exerts on the ball if the collision lasts 0.12 seconds is .

could i give you a exaplo that could you?

i dont think you are wrong for wanting to get even with someone who did you wrong.

(i'm an eye for an eye kind of person) but if this person hurt you in a sexual way, i dont suggest doing anything to him. he should be taken to the proper authorities, you could go to jail depending on what you do. if it was something small like your sibling took your spot on the couch, than yea, i would get even with him by taking one of his favorite snacks lol. but i dont suggest you doing anything illegal.
