Direction, velocity and impulse of a ball.

AI Thread Summary
To find the magnitude of the impulse exerted by a 350g ball rebounding off a wall, first calculate the change in momentum. The initial momentum is 1.4 kg·m/s (mass times initial velocity), and the final momentum after rebounding is -1.05 kg·m/s (mass times final velocity in the opposite direction). The impulse is the difference in momentum, resulting in a magnitude of 2.45 kg·m/s. A diagram illustrating the initial and final velocities along with the impulse direction can aid in visualizing the problem. This approach will help complete the coursework effectively.

Homework Statement



A ball of mass 350g is traveling with a speed of 4m/s when it hits at right angles a fixed vertical wall. The ball rebounds with a speed of 3m/s. Find the magnitude of the impulse exerted by the ball on the wall. Using a simple diagram show the direction of velocities and the impulse.

Hi all i can't seem to finish my coursework, I'm stuck into questions that, i can't solve.

can some one help me please?

Thread 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Rolling without slipping on a curved surface'

Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
