Problem

A ball of mass 2.0 kg2.0 \text{ kg} rolling on a horizontal floor with a speed 4.0 m s−14.0 \text{ m s}^{-1} hits a vertical wall. Calculate the magnitude of the change in momentum of the ball if it (a) bounces with speed 4.0 m s−14.0 \text{ m s}^{-1} (b) bounces with speed 3.0 m s−13.0 \text{ m s}^{-1} (c) sticks to the wall.
