a 0.70 kg ball is moving horizontally at 5.5 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall and rebounds with speed 3.9 m/s. what is the magnitude of the change in its linear momentum?



Answer :

Magnitude of the change in its linear momentum is 0.77 kg m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

What is linear momentum?

A large, moving object has more momentum than a smaller, moving more slowly, according to the scientific definition of linear momentum, which is in line with the majority of people's intuitive understanding of momentum. The result of a system's mass times its velocity is its linear momentum. Linear momentum is represented in symbols as

                       p =mxv

The relationship between momentum and an object's mass and speed is straightforward. Therefore, an object's momentum increases with increasing mass or velocity. A vector with the same direction as velocity v is said to have momentum (p).

kg m/s is the SI unit for momentum.

The magnitude of the ball's momentum change is

       Δp = 0.7(5.5-3.9)

            Δp= 0.77kgm/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]

Magnitude of the change in its linear momentum is 0.77 kg m/[tex]s^{2}[/tex]
