As we discussed in concept

Impulse Momentum Theorem -

\vec{F}=\frac{d\vec{p}}{dt}

\int_{t_{1}}^{t_{2}}\vec{F}dt=\int_{p_{1}}^{p_{2}}\vec{dp}

- wherein

If \bigtriangleup t  is increased, average force is decreased

 

 Change in momentum

\vec{\Delta p}\:=\:mvcos\theta -(-mvcos\theta)

        = -2mvcos\theta

        = 2(Volume\times\:density)\:vcos\theta

        = 2(av\rho )vcos\theta\:=\:2av^{2}\rho cos\theta


Option 1)

2av^{2}d\cos \theta

Option 2)

2av^{2}d\sin \theta

Option 3)

2avd\cos \theta

Option 4)

2avd\sin \theta
