A hockey ball of mass 200 g travelling at 10ms^(-1)is struck by a hockey sticks so as to return it along its original path with avelocity of 5 ms^(-1) . Calculate the change of momentum occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick .

Answer»

Solution :MASS of the hockey ball m=200 g -0.2 kg
Hockey ball travels with velocity `v_1=10 m//`
Initial momentum `=mv_1`
Hockey ball travels in the opposite direction with velocity `v_2=-5m//s`
Final momentum `=mv_1 -mv_2`
=0.2[10(-50)]
`=0.2 (15)=3 kg ms^(-1)`
Hence the CHANGE in momentum of the hockey is `3 kg ms^(-1)`
