# A \(0.025 \, \text{kg}\) golf ball moving at \(18.0 \, \text{m/s}\) crashes through the window of a house in \(5.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{s}\). After the crash, the ball continues in the same direction with a speed of \(10.0 \, \text{m/s}\).

A \(0.025 \, \text{kg}\) golf ball moving at \(18.0 \, \text{m/s}\) crashes through the window of a house in \(5.0 \times 10^{-4} \, \text{s}\). After the crash, the ball continues in the same direction with a speed of \(10.0 \, \text{m/s}\).

**Part a)** Assuming the force exerted on the ball by the window was constant, what was the magnitude of this force? *(3 points)*

**Part b)** What impulse was delivered to the ball? *(3 points)*
