प्रश्न
A hockey ball of mass 200 g travelling at 10 m s−1 is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity at 5 m s−1. Calculate the change of momentum occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.

उत्तर
Mass of ball (m) = 200 g = 0.2 kg
Initial velocity of ball (u1) = 10 ms-1
∴ The initial momentum of the ball = mu1
= 0.2 kg × 10 ms-1
= 2 N s
Final velocity of ball (u2) = - 5 ms-1
(The minimum sign denotes that the ball is moving in the opposite direction.)
∴ Final momentum of ball = mu2
= 0.2 kg × (- 5 ms-1)
= - 1 N s
∴ Change in momentum = Final momentum - Initial momentum
= - 1Ns - 2Ns
= - 3Ns
The Minus sign denotes that the change in momentum is opposite to the direction of the initial momentum of the ball.

Akhtar, Kiran and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Akhtar and Kiran started pondering over the situation. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum as compared to the change in momentum of the motorcar (because the change in the velocity of the insect was much more than that of the motorcar). Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. And as a result the insect died. Rahul while putting an entirely new explanation said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and a change in their momentum. Comment on these suggestions.
