A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity if 10ms-1 collides with a wall. If after collision it moves with a velocity of 2.0ms−1 in the opposite direction,...

Answer Details

Momentum = Mass x Velocity
Change in Momentum = Mass x (change in velocity)
Change in Momentum = Mass x (v - u)
Mass = 100g = 0.1kg
U = 2ms${}^{-1}$
V = 10ms${}^{-1}$
Change in momentum = m (v − u)
= 0.1 (10 − 2)
= 0.1 (8)
= 0.8Ns
