The $$position-time$$ graph of a body of mass $$0.04$$ kg. Suggest a suitable physical context for this motion. The time between two consecutive impulses received by the body, the magnitude of each impulse is

Question

Infinity Learn · Accepted Answer

The graph could be representing a ball rebounding between two walls separated by 2 cm with a constant velocity in free space. After receiving the impulse ball changes its direction. Hence time between two impulses is 2 seconds.
velocity = time

\times

displacement =

\frac{2 \times 10^{- 2}}{2}

= 0.01 m/s
Initial momentum,
mu =

0.04 \times 10^{- 2}

kgm/s
Final momentum,
mv =

- 0.04 \times 10^{- 2}

kgm/s
∴ Change in momentum =

0.08 \times 10^{- 2}

kgm/s
