Question

A batsman hits a ball of mass 0.2 kg straight towards the bowler without changing its initial speed of 6 m/s. What is the impulse imparted to the ball?

Options

• 3.2 Ns

• 2.4 Ns

• 1.6 Ns

• 4 Ns

Answer 1

2.4 Ns

Explanation:

M = 0.2 kg

v - u = 12 m/s

∴ J = m(v - u) × t = 0.2 × 12 = 2.4 Ns
