Answer

The magnitude of the average force on the wall during each impact is $~~100~N$

Work Step by Step

In part (a), we found that the magnitude of the impulse during each impact is $1.0~kg~m/s$ We can find the magnitude of the average force on the wall during each impact: $F~t = J$ $F = \frac{J}{t}$ $F = \frac{1.0~kg~m/s}{10\times 10^{-3}~s}$ $F = 100~N$ The magnitude of the average force on the wall during each impact is $~~100~N$
