Answer:
P = 5.22 Kg.m/s
Explanation:
given,
mass of the projectile = 1.8 Kg
speed of the target = 4.8 m/s
angle of deflection = 60°
Speed after collision = 2.9 m/s
magnitude of momentum after collision = ?
initial momentum of the body = m x v
= 1.8 x 4.8 = 8.64 kg.m/s
final momentum after collision
momentum along x-direction
P_x = m v cos θ
P_x = 1.8 x 2.9 x cos 60°
P_x = 2.61 kg.m/s
momentum along y-direction
P_y = m v sin θ
P_y = 1.8 x 2.9 x sin 60°
P_y = 4.52 kg.m/s
net momentum of the body
P = 5.22 Kg.m/s
momentum magnitude after collision is equal to P = 5.22 Kg.m/s
