Derive The change in Momentum
Answers
Product of mass and velocity of the body that is momentum
Momentum of a body represent the quantity of the motion present in the body
Momentum is defined as p
p = m × v
momentum= mass × velocity
mass can be measured in kg
and velocity measured in m/s
Derivation:
according to Newtown 2 law of motion
F = ma
SI unit = N sec²
explanation : p = mv ( formula of momentum)
kg m/sec. (m = kg and v = m/sec)
kg m/sec × sec/sec
kg m/sec² × sec
N sec (kg = N}
let us assume that we have a pet animal ostrich he is running on the ground at the speed of 8m/s and his mass is 100 then how many force apply to stop the ostrich
p= m× v
100 × 8 m/s
= 800
momentum at the end = 0
change in momentum = 800-0
=800 m/s
F = change in momentum /change in time
800 kg m/s /5s
= 160N
this is the example given from my book :)
