Question

It is not always possible that momentum is in uniform motion like a tennis player hits a ball with racket but may be ball is in non uniform motion so why do we use “v” in momentum’s formula because velocity is always in uniform

Open in App
Solution

momentum = m*v
here m= mass of the object, and v= velocity of the object
so when a tennis player hits a ball with a racket. racket hits the ball and ball gains a velocity v just after hitting.
this starting velocity v is used for the momentum of the ball. the ball can have non-uniform motion after it does not matter.
we take the velocity of ball v just after rocket hits the ball to find the momentum of the ball.
(If you have any more doubts. Please make a fresh request.)
