Question Number 22492 by Tinkutara last updated on 19/Oct/17
A ball of mass 400 g travels horizontally  along the ground and collides with a  wall. The velocity-time graph below  represents the motion of the ball for the  first 1.2 seconds.  The magnitude of average force between  the ball and the wall is

F_(avg) =((m△v)/(△t)) =(((0.4kg)(10m/s))/((0.2s)))          =20N .
$${F}_{{avg}} =\frac{{m}\bigtriangleup{v}}{\bigtriangleup{t}}\:=\frac{\left(\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{4}{kg}\right)\left(\mathrm{10}{m}/{s}\right)}{\left(\mathrm{0}.\mathrm{2}{s}\right)} \\ $$$$\:\:\:\:\:\:\:\:=\mathrm{20}{N}\:. \\ $$

Thank you very much Sir!
