You are hitting a tennis ball against a wall. The 0.057-kg tennis ball traveling at 30 m/s strikes the wall and rebounds at the same speed. Earth is the object of reference.

1. Determine the ball's original momentum (magnitude).
2. Determine the ball's change in momentum (magnitude).

Respuesta :

Answer

given,

mass of the tennis ball, m= 0.057 Kg

speed of the ball,v = 30 m/s

rebound speed, v' = -30 m/s

a) original momentum of ball

    P = m v

    P =0.057 x 30

    P = 1.71 kg.m/s

b) change in momentum

    P = m v - m v'

    P = 0.057 x 30 - 0.057 x (-30)

    P = 3.42 kg.m/s

We have use -30 m/s velocity because motion of the ball is in opposite direction.

The measurement of mass in motion is called momentum.

(a) The original momentum of the body will be 1.71 kg.m/s.

(b)The change in the momentum of the body will be 3.42kg.m/s.

What is momentum?

The measurement of mass in motion is called momentum. Momentum is equal to its mass multiplied by its velocity.  Mathematically it is given as;

Momentum = Mass x Velocity

The given data in the problem is

tennis ball mass ( m)= 0.057 Kg

speed of the ball(v) = 30 m/s

rebound speed(v' )= -30 m/s

The original momentum of the body is ;

[tex]\rm {P = mv}\\\rm {P = 0.057\times30}\\\rm {P = 1.71\; kg.m/s }\\[/tex]

Hence the original momentum of the body will be 1.71 kg.m/s.

The change in the momentum of the body is given by,

Δp = mv - mv'

Δp= 0.057 x 30 - 0.057 x (-30)

ΔP = 3.42 kg.m/s

Hence the change in the momentum of the body will be 3.42kg.m/s
