A stone is dropped from a height . It hits the ground with a certain momentum . If the stone is dropped from a height more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by
Step 1: Given data
Step 2: Formula used
Velocity
Momentum
Here,
is the height.
is the gravitational acceleration.
is mass.
Step 2: Calculate the percentage change in momentum.
Now,
Hence, Option (B) is correct.
