An iron sphere of mass 10 kg is dropped from a height of 80 cm, if ‘g’ = 10 m / s2. Calculate the momentum transferred to the ground by the body.​

Answer»

EXPLANATION:

Here, initial velocity of sphere, u=0

Distance TRAVELLED, s=80cm=0.8m

Acceleration of sphere, a=10ms−2

Final velocity of sphere when it just reaches the GROUND can be CALCULATED using

v2−u2=2as

∴v2−0=2×10×0.8=16

or v=16=4ms−1.

Momentum of the sphere just before it touches the ground =mv=10×4=40kgms−1
