A 0.5 kg ball is thrown horizontally towards a wall with a speed of 10 m/s. Here, the initial velocity is choosen to be the positive x-direction. The ball horizontally rebounds back from the wall with a speed 8 m/s in the negative x-direction. What is the linear momentum of the ball before it hits the wall?

A tennis ball with a speed of 9.0 m/s is thrown perpendicularly ata wall. After striking the wall, the ball rebounds in the oppositedirection with a speed of 7.0 m/s. If the ball is in contact withthe wall for 0.010 s, what is the average acceleration of the ballwhile it is in contact with the wall? Take the initial direction ofmotion to be the positive direction. (Indicate the direction of theacceleration by the sign of your answer.)

A ball of mass .0750kg is traveling horizontally with a speed of2.20 m/s. It strikes a vertical wall and rebounds horizontally. Dueto the collision with the wall, 20% of the ball's initial keneticenergy is dissipated.

A:Show that the ball rebounds from the wall with a speed of 1.97m/s^-2

For this part i assumed that the ^-2 was a typo and was meant tojust be ^2.
However, my work is wrong and my teacher never taught us thisinformation. What i did was divided the initial speed of 2.20M/s by.8 since it losses 20% of its energy when it hits the wall,however, this give you an answer of 1.76 m/s. can someone show mehow to do this correctly or show me where i went wrong?

A 9 kg ball with an initial velocity of 10 m/s moves at an angle 60º above the + x-direction. The ball hits a vertical wall and bounces off so that it is moving 60º above the − x-direction with the same speed. What is the impulse delivered by the wall?
