A ball of mass 3 Kg collides elastically with a wall with velocity 10 m/sec at an angle of with the wall .
The change in momentum of ball is (in Kg m /s )
20
30
15
45
As we have learned
If target particle is massive in case of elastic collision -
- wherein
The lighter particle recoil with same speed and
the massive remain practically at rest
: initial and final speed of mass m1
: initial and final speed of mass m2
Change in velocity of ball
Change in momentum =
