Jeff mistakenly drops his Hot Wheels toy car weighing 55 grams from a window that is 11 m above ground level. What is its momentum when it strikes the ground? Ignore air resistance.
Given,
mass, m = 55g = 0.055 kg
distance, d = 11 m
g= 9.8 m/s2
Let
v:final velocity
u:initial velocity = 0
Since it falls freely
solving for t
t = 1.5 sec
Now using
v= 14.7
Therefore, momentum = mass x velocity = 0.055 x 14.7 = 0.8085 kg⋅m/s
I hope this will help you. Have a good day. Please give a like. Thanks.
