1.	A man throws a ball weighing 500 g vertically upwards with a speed of 10 m/s. 1. What will be its initial momentum ? 2. What would be its momentum at the highest point of its flight ?
Answer» Mass of ball = 500 g = 0.5 kg Initial velocity = 10 m/s 1. Initial momentum = 0.5 x 10 = 5 kg.m/s 2. Velocity at the highest point = 0 m/s Momentum at the highest point = 0.5 x 0 = 0 kg.m/s

Answer»

Mass of ball = 500 g = 0.5 kg

Initial velocity = 10 m/s

1. Initial momentum = 0.5 x 10 = 5 kg.m/s

2. Velocity at the highest point = 0 m/s

Momentum at the highest point = 0.5 x 0 = 0 kg.m/s
