A 0.10- kg ball is thrown straight up into the air with
aninitial speed of 15m/s. Find the momentum of the ball (a) at
itsmaximum height and (b) halfway to its maximum height.

Respuesta :

Answer:(a)0,(b)1.061 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball is 0.10 kg

Initial speed is 15 m/s

Maximum height reached by ball is h

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as[/tex]

final velocity =0

[tex]-\left ( 15\right )^2=-2\times 9.81\times s[/tex]

[tex]s=\frac{15^2}{2\times 9.81}=11.467 m[/tex]

thus momentum of ball at maximum height is 0 as velocity is zero

For halfway to maximum height

[tex]v^2-u^2=2as_0[/tex]

where [tex]s_0=\frac{11.467}{2}[/tex]

[tex]s_0=5.73 m[/tex]

[tex]v^2=15^2-2\times 9.81\times 5.73[/tex]

v=10.61 m/s

Thus its momentum is

[tex]mv=0.10\times 10.61=1.061 kg-m/s[/tex]
