Momentum and Newton's Laws of Motion problem 97


A golf ball of mass is dropped onto a hard surface from a height and rebounds to a height . The momentum of the golf ball just as it reaches the surface is different from its momentum just as it leaves the surface. What is the total change in the momentum of the golf ball between these two instants? (Ignore air resistance.)
