Determine the magnitude of the change in momentum of a 250-g ball moving at 13.0m/s that bounces off a wall. After collision, the ball is traveling in opposite direction with a speed of 8.0m/s
Given that,
Mass of the ball = 250 grams = 0.250 kg
Initial velocity of ball moving = 13.0 m/s
Final velocity after the collision = 8.0 m/s
Momentum of a body is defined as the product of mass(m) and velocity (V) of that body. It is denoted by p.
Change in momentum is calculated using equation,
Therefore the magnitude of change in momentum after collision = 1.25 kg.m/s
