Cevap
The magnitude of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall is .
The average force is determined by Newton's second law (). Because the ball rebounds in the opposite direction, velocity changes from to , yielding a total velocity change magnitude of . Multiplying by mass () gives an impulse magnitude of . Dividing impulse by the contact time () yields .
