When a body collides with a wall or the ground, what assumption do we make?(a) The mass of the body is not negligible(b) The body is stationary(c) The mass of the body is negligible as compared to the mass of the wall or the ground(d) The body is perfectThis question was posed to me during an interview.My question comes from Laws of Motion in division Laws of Motion of Physics – Class 11

Answer»

The correct option is (c) The mass of the body is negligible as compared to the mass of the wall or the GROUND

For explanation I would SAY: When a body collides with a wall or the ground, we CONSIDER that the mass of the body is negligible as compared to the mass of the wall or the ground. We also make this ASSUMPTION when something like a feather, which has a very SMALL mass collides with a truck, which, comparatively, has a huge mass.
