(a) What is meant by impulsive force?

Apakah maksud daya impuls?

(b) The ball of mass 0.15 kg moves with a velocity of 20 m s when it is hit.

Calculate the impulsive force acting on the glove when the time of impact is 8.0 x 10 ^-2 s.

Bola berjisim 0.15 kg bergerak dengan kelajuan 20 m s apabila dipukul.

Hitungkan daya impuls yang bertindak ke atas sarung tangan jika masa tindakbalas 8.0 x 10 ^-2 s.

(c) Compare the impulsive force if the baseball player wears a hard glove to catch the ball. Explain your answer.
Bandingkan daya impuls yang di hasilkan jika pemain itu menggunakan sarung tangan yang keras untuk menangkap bola. Jelaskan jawapan anda.

Hits for answer the problem :
Decreasing the time of impact will increase the magnitude of the impulsive force, and vice versa.

a)
Impulsive force is defined as the rate of change of momentum in a collision or explosion.

b)

c) A larger impulsive force is produced if the baseball player wears a hard glove. Because the time interval of interaction is small.
