Answer

$9.1$ kg.m/s

Work Step by Step

Initial speed of the hand $v_i = 13\ m/s$ Final speed of the hand $v_f = 0\ m/s$ Mass of the hand $m=0.7\ kg$ Duration of the collision $\Delta t=5\times 10^{-3}\ s$ Since the change in momentum is equal to the impulse applied; $J= m(\Delta v)$ $J=m(v_f - v_i)$ $J=0.7\ kg (0\ m/s - 13\ m/s)$ $J=-9.1\ kg. m/s$ Therefore, the magnitude of impulse is $J=9.1\ kg.m/s$.
