Question

A ball weighing 200g is thrown vetically upward with speed of 20 m/s. What will be its momentum at its highest point? WITH EXPLANATION

Answer 1

Momentum= mass×velocity
For a vertically upward projected body final velocity will be zero.
Therefore,the momentum of the given body at its highest point=mass×final velocity
⇒Momentum(P)=200×0 
∴Its momentum at its highest point is 0.

Answer 2

Hi there !!

Momentum = P

Mass = m = 200 grams

Velocity of the ball at a height = v = 0 m/s

Hence ,

P = mv
= 200 x 0 = 0

Momentum at the highest point = 0
