What do you mean by linear momentum of a body? A force causes an acceleration of 10 ms-2 in a body of mass 1 kg. What acceleration will be caused by the same force in a body of mass 4 kg?

उत्तर
Linear Momentum is defined as the physical quantity which is associated with bodies in linear motion. It is given by the product of the mass of the body and its velocity.
Mass of body = 1 kg
Acceleration produced = 10 ms-2.
Force applied would be = 1 X 10 N = 10 N.
Mass of second body = 4 kg.
As same force has to be applied on second body so force = 10N.
Acceleration produced is = F/M =10/4 = 2.5 ms-2.

A person is standing on a weighing machine placed on the floor of an elevator. The elevator starts going up with some acceleration, moves with uniform velocity for a while and finally decelerates to stop. The maximum and the minimum weights recorded are 72 kg and 60 kg, respectively. Assuming that the magnitudes of acceleration and deceleration are the same, find (a) the true weight of the person and (b) the magnitude of the acceleration. Take g = 9.9 m/s2.
