A squash ball has a mass of 0.024 kg. The ball hits a wall at right angles at 18 m/s. The ball rebounds from the wall at 12 m/s.
Calculate the momentum of the ball just before it hits the wall.
Calculate the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball during the bounce.
Explain why the change in momentum of the ball is larger than the momentum the ball had before the bounce.
