  • question_answer
    A ball of mass m falls vertically to the ground from a height h1 and rebound to a height \[{{h}_{2}}\]. The change in momentum of the ball on striking the ground is [AMU (Engg.) 1999]

    A)          \[mg({{h}_{1}}-{{h}_{2}})\]

    B)                       \[m(\sqrt{2g{{h}_{1}}}+\sqrt{2g{{h}_{2}}})\]

    C)          \[m\sqrt{2g({{h}_{1}}+{{h}_{2}})}\]

    D)                       \[m\sqrt{2g}({{h}_{1}}+{{h}_{2}})\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

             When ball falls vertically downward from height \[{{h}_{1}}\] its velocity \[{{\overrightarrow{v}}_{1}}=\sqrt{2g{{h}_{1}}}\] and its velocity after collision \[{{\overrightarrow{v}}_{2}}=\sqrt{2g{{h}_{2}}}\] Change in momentum \[\Delta \vec{P}=m({{\overrightarrow{v}}_{2}}-{{\overrightarrow{v}}_{1}})=m(\sqrt{2g{{h}_{1}}}+\sqrt{2g{{h}_{2}}})\]          (because \[{{\overrightarrow{v}}_{1}}\] and \[{{\overrightarrow{v}}_{2}}\] are opposite in direction)
