When an object hits a stationary wall and rebounds on impact, the initial momentum is (+mu) and the final momentum is (-mu) provided kinetic energy is not lost on impact and the object rebounds with the same speed as it hits the wall.The change in momentum is the final momentum - the initial momentum.
if u is constant and there is no loss of kinetic energy.
| Δp | = | change in momentum |
| = | (-mu) - (mu) | |
| = | -2mu |
