NEET2012PhysicsMotion in One DimensionActual
A stone is dropped from a height h . It hits the ground with a certain momentum p . If the same stone is dropped from a height 100 % more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by
Options
- A68 %
- B41 %
- C200 %
- D100 %
Correct answer
B. 41 %
Step-by-step solution
Velocity v= 2 g h and momentum p=m v From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we have Here p₂ p₁ = h₂ h₁ aligned & p₂ p₁ = 2 h h = 2 & p₂=1.414 p₁ & % change = p₂-p₁ p₁ 100=41 % aligned
