    $2.75\, m, 55\, N$
  • B
    $2.52\, m, 45\, N$
  • C
    $2.25\, m, 50\, N$
  • D

Akhtar, Kiran, and Rahul were riding in a motorcar that was moving with a high velocity on an expressway when an insect hit the windshield and got stuck on the windscreen. Kiran suggested that the insect suffered a greater change in momentum compared to the motorcar. Akhtar said that since the motorcar was moving with a larger velocity, it exerted a larger force on the insect. Rahul said that both the motorcar and the insect experienced the same force and the same change in momentum. Comment on these suggestions.

$A$ hockey ball of mass $200 \,g$ travelling at $10 \,m \,s^{-1}$ is struck by a hockey stick so as to return it along its original path with a velocity of $5 \,m \,s^{-1}$. Calculate the magnitude of the change in momentum of the hockey ball due to the force applied by the hockey stick.
