A body of mass collides against a wall with velocity and retraces its path with the same speed. The change in momentum is (take the initial direction of velocity as positive),


Important Questions on Centre of Mass, Momentum and Collisions

The given figure shows a plot of the time-dependent force acting on a particle in motion along the axis. What is the total impulse delivered by this force to the particle from time to second?

A ball of mass moving with a speed of strikes a wall at an angle (as shown in the figure). The ball rebounds at the same speed and remains in contact with the ball for the force exerted by the ball on the wall is:

In the figure given the position-time graph of a particle of mass is shown. The impulse at is:


A particle of mass initially at rest, is acted upon by a variable force for a brief interval of time It attains a velocity after the force stops acting. is shown in the graph as a function of time. The curve is a semicircle, find

A mass of strikes the wall with speed at an angle as shown in the figure, and it rebounds with the same speed. If the contact time is what is the force applied on the mass by the wall:
