In the previous problem (5.3), the magnitude of the momentum transferred during the hit is
(a) Zero
(b) 0.75 kg m s^{-1}
(c) 1.5 kg m s^{-1}
(d) 14 kg m s^{-1}

Answers (1)

The answer is the option (c) 1.5 kg m s^{-1}

Explanation: Change in momentum (\Delta \overrightarrow{p}) = Final momentum – initial momentum

(\Delta \overrightarrow{p})=-[ 0.9\widehat{i}+1.2\widehat{j} ]

Thus, its magnitude will be,

\left |\Delta \overrightarrow{p} \right |=\sqrt{(0.9)^{2}+(1.2)^{2}}

\left |\Delta \overrightarrow{p} \right |=\sqrt{0.81+1.44}

 \left |\Delta \overrightarrow{p} \right |=\sqrt{2.25}=1.5kgms^{-1}
