Question:
A hockey ball of mass 200 g travelling at 10 m/s is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity of 5 m/s.Calculate the change in momentum of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.

Here.m = 200 g =$\frac{200}{1000}$ kg =$\frac{1}{5}$kg
initial velocity,u- 10 $ms-1$
final velocity.v = -5$ms-1$,negative sign is used because the ball returns along the original path,change of momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
= mv-mu =$\frac{1}{5}$(-5)-$\frac{1}{5}$(10)=-3 kg m/s
