NEET2021PhysicsCenter of Mass, Momentum and CollisionActual
A ball of mass 0 . 15   kg is dropped from a height 10   m strikes the ground and rebounds to the same height. The magnitude of impulse imparted to the ball is g = 10   m   s - 2 nearly :
Options
- A0   kg   m   s - 1
- B2 . 1   kg   m   s - 1
- C4 . 2   kg   m   s - 1
- D1 . 4   kg   m   s - 1
Correct answer
C. 4 . 2   kg   m   s - 1
Step-by-step solution
m = 0 . 15   kg ;   h = 10   m v = 2 g h = 2 × 9 . 8 × 10 = 14   m   s - 1 As we know, Impulse = change in momentum = p f - p i = 0 . 15 × 14 - - 0 . 15 × 14 = 2 × 0 . 15 × 14 = 4 . 2   kg   m   s - 1 ( To raise back to same height, rebounds velocity is same as the hitting velocity)
