A 0.2kg ball moving at 30m/s at 45∘ to a wall rebounds at the same speed and angle. What is the impulse perpendicular to

Perpendicular component (x-axis) changes direction upon rebound. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 6 N s as the result, so option A is correct.

A 0.25kg ball moving at 18m/s at 53∘ to a wall rebounds at the same speed and angle. What is the impulse perpendicular t

Perpendicular component (x-axis) reverses upon rebound. As per NCERT Chapter 3, equations v=u+at, s=ut+½at², v²=u²+2as describe uniformly accelerated motion. Applying correct signs and units gives 4 N s as the result, so option A is correct.
