The vector OA represents the momentum of the object before the collision and the vectors OB that after the collision. The vector AB represents the change in momentum `Deltap` of the object. As the magnitude of OA and OB are equal, the components of OA and OB along the wall are equal and in the same direction, while those perpendicular to the wall are equal and opposite.
Thus, the change in momentum is due only to the change in direction of the perpendicular components.
Hence, `Deltap = OB sing 30^(@)-(-OA sin 30^(@))`
`=mv sin30^(@) - (-mv sin 30^(@)) = 2 mv sin30^(@)`
Its time rate will appear in the form of averge force acting on the wall.
`F xx t = 2mvsin30^(@)` or `F=(2mvsin30^(@)`/(t)`
Given, `m=0.5 kg, v = 12 ms^(-1), t = 0.25 s, theta = 30^(@)`
Hence, `F = (2 xx 0.5 xx 12 xx sin 30^(@))/(0.25)=24 N`
