Laws Of Motion Question 294

Question: A stone is dropped from a height h. It hits the ground with a certain momentum P. If the same stone is dropped from a height 100% more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by:

Options:

A) 68%

B) 41%

C) 200%

D) 100%

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: B

Solution:

[b] Momentum P=mv=m2gh

(v2=u2+2gh; Here u=0)

When stone hits the ground momentum P=m2gh

When same stone dropped from 2h (100% of initial) then momentum P=m2g(2h)=2P

Which is changed by 41 % of initial.
