A body of mass 10 kg is moving with a speed of 5 m/s. What is the momentum of the body?
Show Hint
- 50 kg m/s
- 100 kg m/s
- 200 kg m/s
- 25 kg m/s
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
Given: The mass of the body \( m = 10 \, \text{kg} \), and the speed \( v = 5 \, \text{m/s} \).
Step 1: Use the formula for momentum The momentum \( p \) is given by the formula: \[ p = m \times v \]
Step 2: Substitute the values Substitute the given values into the formula: \[ p = 10 \times 5 = 50 \, \text{kg m/s} \]
Answer: The correct answer is option (1): 50 kg m/s.

- An object of mass \( m \) is projected from the origin in a vertical \( xy \)-plane at an angle \( 45^\circ \) with the x-axis with an initial velocity \( v_0 \). The magnitude and direction of the angular momentum of the object with respect to the origin, when it reaches the maximum height, will be:
Given below are two statements. One is labelled as Assertion (A) and the other is labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Knowing the initial position \( x_0 \) and initial momentum \( p_0 \) is enough to determine the position and momentum at any time \( t \) for a simple harmonic motion with a given angular frequency \( \omega \).
Reason (R): The amplitude and phase can be expressed in terms of \( x_0 \) and \( p_0 \).
In the light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:
