Impulse I = change in momentum
              I= mv’-mv
we will take vertival and horizontal component
angle theta = 45’
              I= (mvcos45=mvsin450)-(mvcos45-mvsin45)
 vertical resolution cancelout & horizontal adds up             
              I=2mvsin45
              I=2*0.02*15*1\root2
               = 0.6*1\root2
               = 0.424328 N-s
