Two billiard balls, each of mass 0.05 kg, moving in opposite directions with speed 6 ms-1collide and rebound with the same speed. What is the impulse imparted to each ball due to the other?

उत्तर
Initial momentum of each ball before collision
= 0.05 x 6 kg ms-1 = 0.3 kg ms-1
Final momentum of each ball after collision
= -0.05 x 6 kg ms-1 = -0.3 kg ms-1 Impulse imparted to each ball due to the other
= final momentum - initial momentum = -0.3 kg m s-1 - 0.3 kg ms-1
= -0.6 kg ms-1 = 0.6 kg ms-1 (in magnitude)
The two impulses are opposite in direction.

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.
