How much momentum will a dumbbell of mass 10kg transfer to the floor if it falls from a height of 80cm?
Solution:
Given, Mass = 10kg Height, S = 80cm = 0.8m g = 10m/s² By the third equation of motion, we can get velocity, v² = u² + 2gS →v² = 2 × 10 × 0.8 = 16 = 4m/s So, velocity = 4m/s Now Momentum = mass × velocity So, →10 × 4 = 40kgm/s
