what is the impulse of the net force applied to the ball during the collision with the floor?
A 0.660-kg ball is dropped from rest at a point 2.10 m above the floor. The ball rebounds straight upward to a height of 1.20 m. Taking the negative direction to be downward, what is the impulse of the net force applied to the ball during the collision with the floor?

Determine speed before collision:
v = sqrt(2ad)
v = sqrt[(2)(9.8)(2.1)]
v = -6.42 m/s
Determine speed after collision:
v = sqrt(2ad)
v = sqrt[(2)(9.8)(1.2)]
v = 4.85 m/s
Impulse = change in momentum
= m(change in speed)
= 0.660(4.85-(-6.42))
= 11.3 N s
