Answer:
The magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
Explanation:
The momentum of an object is given by the product of mass and velocity with which it is moving.
Let the mass of ball is m. A tennis player smashes a ball of mass m horizontally at a vertical wall. The ball rebounds at the same speed v with which it struck the wall.
Initial speed of the ball is v and final speed, when it rebounds, is (-v). The change in momentum is given by :
p = final momentum - initial momentum
So, the magnitude of change in momentum is (2mv).
Answer:
Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.
Hence, boat 1 wins.
Explanation:
Case 1: Boat 1
Speed of boat =
time =
While going to another end
time =
time =
time = 1 hour
While going back,
time =
time =
time = 1 hour
Total time taken by boat 1 is,
Total time by boat 1 = 1 hour + 1 hour = 2 hour
Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour
Total time taken by boat 1 for the round trip is 2 hour.
Case 2: Boat 2
Speed of boat =
time =
While going to another end
time =
time =
time = 2 hour
While going back,
time =
time =
time = 0.66 hour
Total time taken by boat 2 is,
Total time by boat 1 = 2 hour + 0.66 hour
Total time by boat 1 = 2.66 hour
Total time taken by boat 2 for the round trip is 2.66 hour.
Time required by boat 1 for the round trip is less than that of boat 2.
Hence, boat 1 wins.
