A0.10- kg ball is thrown straight up into the air with
aninitial speed of 15m/s. find the momentum of the ball (a) at
itsmaximum height and (b) halfway to its maximum height.

(a)0,(b)1.061 kg-m/s

Explanation:

Given

mass of ball is 0.10 kg

Initial speed is 15 m/s

Maximum height reached by ball is h

final velocity =0

thus momentum of ball at maximum height is 0 as velocity is zero

For halfway to maximum height

where

v=10.61 m/s

Thus its momentum is

. west

speed of light in vacuum is 300,000 km/s

speed of light in other mediums is given by the expression v = c/n, where c is the speed of light in vacuum and n is the refractive index of medium.

for the first medium v = 200,000 km/s

  so, refractive index of medium = 300000/200000 = 1.5

    1.5 refractive index is usually for glass. so first medium is glass.

for the second medium v = 250,00 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/250000 = 1.2

    1.2 refractive index is usually for water. so second medium is water.

for the third medium v = 0 km/s

so, refractive index of medium = 300000/0 = ∞

    ∞ refractive index is usually for opaque mediums. so third medium is opaque medium.
