4-1.Newton's Laws of Motion
easy
The average force necessary to stop a hammer with momentum $p\; Ns$ in $0.5\; s$ is .......... $N$
A
$2 p$
B
$p$
C
$4 p$
D
$\frac{p}{2}$
Solution
(a)
Force $=$ change in momentum $/$ time
here, initial momentum $=p$
if hammer comes to rest, final momentum $=0$
change in momentum $=p-0=p$
time $=0.5\,s$
Average force $= p / 0.5=2 p N$
Average force is $2 p$ Newton.
