1. A 0.280 kg ball is dropped from rest at a point 1.20 m above the floor. The ball rebounds straight upward to a height of 0.650 m. What are the magnitude and direction of the impulse of the net force applied to the ball during the collision with the floor?
2. Impluse-Momentum Theory: Sum of Forces * time inerval = m Vf - mVo
Momentum = p= mV
3. I found the final velocity of the ball when it has been dropped (4.85 m/s, I found this out using the equation y= (Vf^2 -Vo^2)/2a ), but when I tried to plug it into the IMT, I got an answer of 1.36 kg*m/s, which is apparently wrong. Where did I go wrong? I assumed the initial velocity to be zero since it was dropped from rest. Is there something I was supposed to do with the rebounded part?
