Answer
given,
mass of the drop, m = 0.0014 g
speed of the drop, u = 8.1 m/s
a) Change in momentum is equal to impulse
final velocity of the drop, v = 0 m/s
J = m ( v - u )
J = 0.0014 x 10⁻³ x ( 0 - 8.1 )
J = -1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s
impulse of the roof = - J = 1.134 x 10⁻⁵ kg.m/s
b) time, t = 0.37 m s
impact of force = ?
we know
J = F x t
1.134 x 10⁻⁵ = F x 0.37 x 10⁻³
F = 0.031 N
the magnitude of the force of the impact is equal to F = 0.031 N
