Two billiard balls each of mass 0.05kg moving in opposite directions with speed 6ms^-1 collide and rebound with the same speed. What is the impulse imparted to each ball due to the other?

Class: Class 11 Subject: Physics Topic: Speed,Acceleration and Distance

It is given that,

Mass of each ball =0.05 kg

Initial velocity of each ball = 6 m/s

Magnitude of the initial momentum of each ball, pi=0.3kgms^-1

After collision, the balls change their directions of motion without changing the 

magnitudes of their velocity. 

Final momentum of each ball, pf= -0,3kgms^-1

Impulse imparted to each ball Change in the momentum of the system 

Im pulse =pf – pi

Im pulse = - 0.3 - 0.3 = -0.6kgms^-1

 

The negative sign indicates that the impulses imparted to the balls are opposite in direction.
