(Note: this question is from an old question paper how else would i get mark scheme. So pls look properly before rejecting)

Since impulse( change in momentum) is mv - mu mv=0 mu=1400 shouldnt impulse be 0-1400 ? So answer should be negative right? Why does markscheme show positive answer

Question
Answer
(momentum =) mv OR 70 x 20
= 1400 kg m/s OR Ns
1(a)(i)
a)(ii)
same numerical answer as (a)(i) with either unit OR 1400kgm/s
