A man throws a ball weighing 500g vertically upwards with a speed of 10m/s (i) what will be its initial momentum? (ii) What would be its momentum at the highest point of its flight?

Solution
1. Initial momentum is mu=0.5Kg×10m/s=5Kg−m/s
2. At highest point its velocity becomes zero so momentum will slo be zero as momentum p=mass×velocity.
