Answer:
2.5 kg.m/s
Explanation:
Taking left side as positive while right side direction as negative then
Momentum, p= mv where m is the mass of the object and v is the velocity of travel
Momentum for ball moving towards right side=mv=2.5*-3=-7.5 kg.m/s
Momentum for the ball moving towards the left side=mv=2.5*4=10 kg.m/s
Total momentum=-7.5 kg.m/s+10 kg.m/s=2.5 kg.m/s
We are given the gravitational potential energy and the height of the ball and is asked in the problem to determine the mass of the ball. the formula to be followed is PE = mgh where g is the gravitational acceleration equal to 9.81 m/s^2. substituting, 58.8 J = m*9.8 m/s^2 * 30 m; m = 0.2 kg.
