Answer

The magnitude of the impulse during each impact is $~~1.0~kg~m/s$

Work Step by Step

The impulse is equal to the area under the force versus time graph. We can find the magnitude of the impulse during each impact: $J = \frac{1}{2}F_{max}~t$ $J = \frac{1}{2}(200~N)(10\times 10^{-3}~s)$ $J = 1.0~kg~m/s$ The magnitude of the impulse during each impact is $~~1.0~kg~m/s$
