A 0.14 kg ball of dough is thrown straight up into the air with an initial speed of 5.0 m/s.

(a) Find the momentum of the ball of dough at its maximum height.

kg·m/s

(b) Find the momentum of the ball of dough halfway to its maximum height on the way up.

kg·m/s

Homework Answers

Answer #1

At maximum height speed is zero. Hence momentum will be zero. Use conservation of energy principle to find the maximum height and use that to find the speed at half the maximum height.
