A 0.45-kg football traveling at a speed of 22 m/s is caught by an 84-kg stationary receiver. If the football comes to rest in the receiver's arms, what is the magnitude of the impulse imparted to the receiver by the ball?

Recall that                Impulse          =     F     &amp;#x394;     t     =     &amp;#x394;     p     In the event that the football comes to rest, its original momentum is represented by the impulse. Then,         &amp;#x394;     p     =     m     &amp;#x3BD;     =                     9.9                    m                  &amp;#x22C5;                    kg                                s                 is the impulse imparted to the receiver by the ball, regardless of the receiver&#039;s mass.
