Two billiard balls each of mass 0.05 kg moving in opposite directions with speed 6 m s collide and rebound with the same speed. What is the impulse imparted to each ball due to the other?
Solution:
Let the two balls A and B moving in opposite directions collide and rebound with same speed. Initial momentum of the ball A = 0.05 × (6) = 0.3 kg m s Final momentum of the ball A = 0.05(–6) = –0.3 kg m s Impulse imparted to ball A = change in momentum of ball final momentum - initial momentum Initial momentum of the ball Final momentum of the ball Impulse imparted due to Impulse on each ball is 0.6 in magnitude but these two impulses are opposite in direction.
