a hockey ball of mass 200g moving at 10m/sec is struck by a stick so as to return along it's original path at 5m/sec . Calculate the change in momentum occurred in the motion of ball.
it's urgent!!!!! please answer quickly and no need to write uneccesary answers.

Explanation:
Mass of ball (m) = 200 g = 0.2 kg
Initial velocity of ball () = 10 m
Initial momentum of ball = = 0.2 kg x 10 m = 2 N s
Final velocity of ball = - 5 m (Minus sign denotes that ball is moving in opposite direction.)
Final momentum of ball = = 0.2 kg x -5 m = -1 N s
Change in momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum = - 1Ns - 2Ns = - 3N s. (Minus sign denotes change in momentum in the direction opposite to the direction of initial momentum of the ball.
