A 0.28kg volleyball is approaching a player at 9 m/s. The player hits it and it is returned at 18 m/s.

1. What is the impulse experienced by the volleyball?

 
In the diagram above, it shows a crash test dummy's head in a car crash. The dummy's head has a mass of 5 kg and is
2. If the time of contact with the player is 0.005 seconds, what is the force on the volleyball?
moving at 20 m/s along with the car. Once it crashes, the airbag deploys and the dummy's head eventually comes to a
stop.

1. What is the impulse experienced by the crash test dummy's head?

2. If the airbag causes the collision to have a full duration of 0.6 sec, what is the force on the dummy's head?
