Impulse-momentum can be used to calculate the average force on the ball. \(F = -72.5N \,\) (value is negative as moving to the left) The negative sign in front of the \(-72.5N\) indicates that the ...

As the momentum before the 'collision' is zero, the momentum after the collision is zero. In physics, this type of event is termed an explosion. Watch this video for a practical demonstration of ...
