3 A ball falls from rest onto a flat horizontal surface. Fig. 3.1 shows the variation with time t of the velocity v
of the ball as it approaches and rebounds from the surface.

Use data from Fig. 3.1 to determine

(a) the distance travelled by the ball during the first 0.40 s,

distance = ……………………………………. m [2]

(b) the change in momentum of the ball, of mass 45 g, during contact of the ball with the surface,

change = ………………………………….. Ns [4]

(c) the average force acting on the ball during contact with the surface.

force = ……………………………………. N [2]
