TopicMomentum and Collisions 1

1 A particle, of mass 0.8 kg , moves along a smooth horizontal surface. It hits a vertical wall, which is at right angles to the direction of motion of the particle, and rebounds. The speed of the particle as it hits the wall is \(4 \mathrm {~m} \mathrm {~s} ^ { - 1 }\) and the coefficient of restitution between the particle and the wall is 0.3 . Find
  1. the impulse that the wall exerts on the particle,
  2. the kinetic energy lost in the impact.
