The initial velocity of ball is v i = 1 0 i ^ − 1 0 j ^ . Let v y and v x be the final components of velocity of ball along y-axis and x-axis.
The impulse from the ground acts in vertical direction. Hence the vertical component of velocity will change.The component of velocity of ball along x-axis after impact will remain unchanged since no impulse acts on the ball along x-axis. Hence v x =10 .
Along vertical,
e ⇒ v y v f ∣ Δ p ∣ = velocity of approach velocity of separation = 1 0 v y = 5 = 1 0 i ^ + 5 j ^ = m × ( ∣ v f − v i ∣ ) = 1 0 × ∣ 1 5 j ∣ = 1 5 0 .
By impulse momentum theorem , the change in momentum is given by the integral of force with respect to time ∫ F d t ⟨ F ⟩ ⟨ F ⟩ = ⟨ F ⟩ Δ t = Δ t ∣ Δ p ∣ = 0 . 1 1 5 0 = 1 5 0 0 N
