a body of mass M collides against a wall with velocity v and rebounds with the same speed its change in momentum is
Answers
Answer:2mv
Explanation:because when the ball but the wall the momentum is mv
And when after hitting it rebounds back that implies the momentum here is mv ( in magnitude) but it is in opposite direction that means momentum is -mv.
Then the change in momentum is P1-P2= mv -(-mv)= 2mv
change in momentum is -2Mv
Explanation:
- given body have mass= M and velocity= v
Initial momentum = mass of body × velocity of body
= M × v
= Mv
After collision as body rebounds so the final velocity will have same magnitude and opposite direction of initial velocity
so final velocity of the body= -v
- Final momentum of the body= mass of body × velocity of body
= M × (-v)
= -Mv
Change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum
= -M v -M v
= -2Mv
