The impulse given to the ball by the floor is 0.2865 kg.m/s.
What is impulse?
The change in momentum is equal to the product of impact force applied while colliding and time for that impact.
Impulse F. t = m (Vf -Vi)
where, Vf is the final velocity and Vi is the initial velocity.
A ball of mass 500g is dropped from a height 1.5m . It rebounds the floor and reached the height 1.2m.
The initial velocity u = √2x 9.81 x 1.5 = 5.425 m/s
The final velocity v = √2x 9.81 x 1.2 = 4.852 m/s
Substitute the values into the expression, we get
Impulse = m(v- u)
Impulse=0.5 x (4.852- 5.425 )
Impulse = - 0.2865 kg.m/s
Thus, the magnitude of impulse given to the ball by the floor is 0.2865 kg.m/s.
