A volleyball is spiked so that its incoming velocity of +4.1 m/s
is changed to an outgoing velocity of -16 m/s. The mass of the
volleyball is 0.34 kg. What impulse does the player apply to the
ball?
____ kg·m/s
Ans )By Impulse momentum theorem, Impulse = change in momentum
=> Impulse = m(vfinal - vinitial)
= 0.34(-16 -4.1)
= 6.834 kg m/s (ignoring the sign)
