Question

A forse of 7 N acts on a body for 1minute ,what is the change in momentum

Answer 1

Force = mass× acceleration

F =10 N

mass = 2 kg

a = F/m = 10/2 = 5 m/s²

i)now, u = 0

t = 3 sec

v = u + at = 0 + 3×5 = 15 m/s

ii) initial momentum = mu = 2×0 =0

final momentum = mv = 2×15 = 30 kg m/s

change in momentum = final momentum - initial momentum

                                  = 30 -0 = 30 kg m/s
