A hammer weighing strikes the head of a nail with a speed of and drives it into the wall. The impulse imparted to the wall is

Two billiard ball each of mass moving in opposite directions with speed collide and rebounds with the same speed. The magnitude of impulse imparted to each ball due to other is

Figure shows the position–time graph of one dimensional motion of a body of mass . What is the time interval between two consecutive impulses received by the body?

A batsman hits back a ball of mass straight in the direction of the bowler without changing its initial speed of . If the ball moves in same straight line, then the impulse imparted by it (in ) is,

A rigid ball of mass elastically colides a rigid wall at and gets reflected as shown in the figure. Find the impulse imparted by the wall on the ball.

The figure shows the position-time graph of one-dimensional motion of a body of mass The interval between two consecutive impulses received by the body would be

gas molecules each of mass collide with a surface (perpendicular to it) elastically per second over an area with a speed the pressure exerted by the gas molecules will be of the order of
