Question

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

Moderate
Solution

V = Vf-Vi

     = (-V cos600i-V sin 600j )-(V cos 600i-V sin 600j)

V  = -2V cos 600i

Impulse 

l = |P| = m|V| = m(2V cos 600) = mV
