A boy throws a ball straight up into the air so that it leaves his hand at 11 m/s.

1) If the ball has mass 0.15 kg and the boy's arm moved through 1.5 m as he threw the ball, then what average force did he exert on the ball?

Please show it step by step along with the equation to use

impulse=changemomentum
force*1.5=.15*11
solve for force.
I still don't get it. Can you plug the numbers in and tell me which equation to use
force=.15*11/1.5=?
Is this the equation: F=ma/?
The answer I'm suppose to get is 7.55N
How do I get that?
