4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
normal
A particle of mass $m$ strikes a wall with speed $v$ at an angle $30^{\circ}$ with the wall elastically as shown in the figure. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball by the wall is

A
$m v$
B
$\frac{m v}{2}$
C
$2 m v$
D
$\sqrt{3} m v$
Solution
(a)
Impulse = change in momentum
applying equation of change in momentum in horizontal direction
$I=m v \sin 30^{\circ}-\left(-m v \sin 30^{\circ}\right)$
$=2 m v\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)=m v$
