Question

A body of mass M collides against a wall with velocity V and rebounds with the same speed. Its magnitude of change in momentum is:
  1. MV
  2. 0
  3. 2MV
  4. MV2

A
MV
B
2MV
C
MV2
D
0
Solution
Verified by Toppr

Given that the body of mass M, velocity V rebounds with the same speed.
Change of momentum =M× (Change in velocity)
=M(V(V))=2MV
Thus, the change in momentum of the rebounding ball is 2MV.
