A stone is dropped from a height h. It hits the ground with a certain momentum P. If the same stone is dropped from a height 100% more than the previous height, the momentum when it hits the ground will change by
- A68%
- B41%
- C200%
- D100%
View written solutionFree
Correct answer: B
When a stone is dropped from a height h,
it hits the ground with a momentum
....(1)
where m is the mass of the stone.
When the same stone is dropped from a height 2h
(i.e. 100% of initial), then its momentum with which
it hits the ground becomes
[Using (1)] ...(2)
% change in momentum =
