उत्तर

A hockey player is moving northward and suddenly turns westward with the same speed to avoid an opponent. The force that acts on the player is frictional force along south-west.

Explanation:

According to Newton’s second law of motion, only external forces can change the linear momentum of the system. The internal forces cannot change the linear momentum of system under consideration. If we take hockey players as a system, the external force which can change the direction of motion of the player is the force that must be friction between the ground and the shoes of player. The muscle force is the internal force, this cannot change the linear momentum of the player.

According to Newton’s Second Law, The rate of change of linear momentum of a body is equal to the external force applied on the body or F = dp/dt. So, the external force must be in the direction of change in momentum.

As shown in the diagram,

Let OA = p1

= Initial momentum of player northward

AB = p2 

= Final momentum of the player towards west

Clearly OB = OA + AB

According to the problem, mass = 2 kg

The position of the particle is given here as a function of time, x(t) = pt + qt2 + rtBy differentiating this equation w.r.t. time we get velocity of the particle as a function of time.

v = dx/dt = p + 2 qt + 3 rt2

If we again differentiate this equation w.r.t. time, we will get an acceleration of the particle as a function of time.

a = dv/dt = 0 + 2q + 6rt

At t = 2 s; a = 2q + 6 × 2 × r

= 2 q + 12 r

= 2 × 4 + 12 × 5

= 8 + 60

= 68 m/s

Force = F = ma

= 2 × 68

= 136 N

Change in momentum = p2 – p1

= AB – OA

= AB + (– OA)

= Clearly the change in momentum is OR will be along southwest, so the direction of force will also be along southwest.
