$A$ hockey ball of mass $200 \,g$ travelling at $10 \,m \,s^{-1}$ is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity of $5 \,m \,s^{-1}$. Calculate the magnitude of the change in momentum of the hockey ball due to the force applied by the hockey stick.

  • A
    $6 \,kg \,m \,s^{-1}$
  • B
    $3 \,kg \,m \,s^{-1}$
  • C
    $2 \,kg \,m \,s^{-1}$
  • D
