A ball of mass 1.5 kg is thrown upward. It leaves the throwers hand with a velocity of 10 m/s. The following questions refer to the motion after the ball leaves the throwers hand. Assume that the upward direction is positive.
Determine the change in momentum of the ball?
Find how long does it take for the ball to return to the throwers hand?
Find the impulse determined from the change in momentum?
Obtain the final velocity of the ball just before it reaches the hand?
Calculate the average force acting on the ball?
After the ball hits the thrower's hand, it comes to rest in 0.25 sec. Find what is the net impulse exerted on the ball?
Compute the average force exerted on the ball by the hand after it comes to rest (Hint: Don't forget the gravitational force)?
