Question

A ball of mass m moving with velocity v⃗ i strikes a vertical wall as shown in (Figure 1) . The angle between the ball's initial velocity vector and the wall is θi as shown on the diagram, which depicts the situation as seen from above. The duration of the collision between the ball and the wall is Δt, and this collision is completely elastic. Friction is negligible, so the ball does not start spinning. In this idealized collision, the force exerted on the ball by the wall is parallel to the x axis.

Part A What is the final angle θf that the ball's velocity vector makes with the negative y axis? Express your answer in terms of quantities given in the problem introduction. Hints θf = θi SubmitMy AnswersGive Up Correct Part B What is the magnitude F of the average force exerted on the ball by the wall?
