    A ball hits a vertical wall horizontally at 10m/s bounces back at 10 m/s                           [JIPMER 1999]

    A)          There is no acceleration because \[10\,\frac{m}{s}-\,10\frac{m}{s}=0\]  

    B)          There may be an acceleration because its initial direction is horizontal

    C)          There is an acceleration because there is a momentum change

    D)          Even though there is no change in momentum there is a change in direction. Hence it has an acceleration

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

             As the ball bounces back with same speed so change in momentum = 2 mv               and we know that force = rate of change of momentum          i.e. force will act on the ball so there is an acceleration.
