Solution

Primero, recordemos que el impulso se define como el cambio en la cantidad de movimiento (o momento lineal) de un objeto. La fórmula para el impulso es:

Impulso=Δp=mΔv \text{Impulso} = \Delta p = m \cdot \Delta v

donde:

  • m m es la masa del objeto,
  • Δv \Delta v es el cambio en la velocidad.

Dado que la masa del balón es de 250 g, primero convertimos esta masa a kilogramos (kg) porque la unidad estándar de masa en el Sistema Internacional de Unidades (SI) es el kilogramo:

250g=0.250kg 250 \, \text{g} = 0.250 \, \text{kg}

La velocidad inicial del balón es 10m/s 10 \, \text{m/s} hacia la pared, y la velocidad final es 8m/s -8 \, \text{m/s} (negativa porque rebota en la dirección opuesta).

El cambio en la velocidad (Δv \Delta v ) es:

Δv=vfvi=(8m/s)(10m/s)=18m/s \Delta v = v_f - v_i = (-8 \, \text{m/s}) - (10 \, \text{m/s}) = -18 \, \text{m/s}

Ahora, calculamos el impulso:

Impulso=mΔv=0.250kg(18m/s)=4.5Ns \text{Impulso} = m \cdot \Delta v = 0.250 \, \text{kg} \cdot (-18 \, \text{m/s}) = -4.5 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{s}

El signo negativo indica que la dirección del impulso es opuesta a la dirección inicial del movimiento del balón. Sin embargo, si solo se requiere la magnitud del impulso, esta es:

4.5Ns 4.5 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{s}

Por lo tanto, el impulso es 4.5Ns 4.5 \, \text{N} \cdot \text{s} .
