Questions  

A rigid ball of mass m strikes a rigid wall at 60° and gets reflected without loss of speed as shown in the figure. The value of impulse imparted by the wall on the ball will be                       

a
mv
b
2 mv
c
mv/2
d
mv/3

detailed solution

Correct option is A

Impulse is imparted due to change in perpendicular components of momentum of ball, J=Δp=mvf-mvi=mvcos60°--mvcos60°=2mvcos60°=2mv×12=mv
