Two billiard balls of mass 0 . 05 kg each moving in opposite directions with 10 ms - 1 collide and rebound with the same speed. If the time duration of contact is t = 0 . 005 s , then what is the force exerted on the ball due to each other?
Options
- A100   N
- B200   N
- C300   N
- D400   N
Correct answer
B. 200   N
Step-by-step solution
After collision, the balls change their directions of motion without changing the magnitudes of their velocity. Change in momentum of any one ball Δ p → = 2 × 0 . 05 × 10 ⇒ Δ p → = 1   kg   m   s - 1 The force exerted on the ball is F → av   = Δ p → Δ t = 1 0 . 005 F av   = 200   N
