A 150 g ball, travelling at 30 m/s, strikes the palm of a player’s hand and is stopped in 0.05 second. Find the force exerted by the ball on the hand.

उत्तर
Mass of the ball, m = 150 g = 0.15 kg
Initial velocity of the ball, u = 30 m/s
Initial momentum of the ball, pi = mu = 4.5 kg.m/s
The player’s hand stops the ball in 0.05 s.
Thus, final momentum of the ball is, pf = 0
So, change in momentum of the ball = pf − pi
= 0 − 4.5
= −4.5 kg.m/s
So, rate of change of momentum is = −4.5/0.05 = −90 N
This is the force exerted by the hand on the ball.
So, the force exerted by the ball on the hand is = 90 N

An object of mass 1 kg travelling in a straight line with a velocity of 10 ms−1 collides with, and sticks to, a stationary wooden block of mass 5 kg. Then they both move off together in the same straight line. Calculate the total momentum just before the impact and just after the impact. Also, calculate the velocity of the combined object.
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.
