A rigid ball of mass m strikes a rigid wall at 600 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
2mv
c
mv2
d
mv3

detailed solution

Correct option is A

As we know Impulse = Change in momentum. Now along the wall there is no change momentum. The change in momentum perpendicular to the wall is mvCos600-(-mvCos600) =2mvCos600=mv
