Explanation:
Given that,
Mass of a soccer ball, m = 0.427 kg
Initial speed, u = 16 m/s
Final speed, v = -21.7 m/s (negative as it is in opposite direction)
(a) Impulse = change in momentum
J = 0.427 × (-21.7 -16)
J = -16.097 kg-m/s
(b) Impulse delivered to the ball by the player is in opposite direction.
(c) Time of contant, t = 0.0600 s
Average force,
J = force×time
[tex]F=\dfrac{J}{t}\\\\F=\dfrac{16.097}{0.0600 }\\\\=268.28\ N[/tex]
Hence, this is the required solution.
