A hockey ball of mass 200 g traveling at 10 m s -1 is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity at 5ms^-1. Calculate the change of momentum that occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.

Answer:
3kgms⁻²
Explanation:
Change in momentum=m(v-u) ; where m=mass of object
v=final velocity
u=initial velocity
so using the above formula,u=10 ; v=-5 ;m=0.2 kg
Note: It is given as velocity not speed, hence direction matters. Since the ball returns to its original path, the direction is reversed; hence -ve sign.
so putting values in the equation,Δp=0.2(-15)=3kgms⁻²
*** -ve sign indicates the direction.You can ignore it ***
