Exam points

Define and calculate momentum using p = mv, including changes in momentum during motion and collisions.

[Maximum number: 2]

Fig. 3.1 shows a boy throwing a ball at an object in a fairground.

Fig. 3.1

The ball has a mass of 190 g and travels horizontally with a constant speed of $6.9 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ .

Calculate the momentum of the ball.

momentum =

$1.3 \mathrm{~kg} \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}$ $p=m v \text { OR }(p=) m v \text { OR } 0.19 \times 6.9 \text { OR } 190 \times 6.9$

OR $1.3 \times 10^{n}$
