What is linear momentum? Represent it in formula form.
(N/A) Linear momentum is defined as the product of the mass $(m)$ of an object and its velocity $(v)$. It is a vector quantity,meaning it has both magnitude and direction. The direction of the momentum is the same as the direction of the velocity of the object.
The formula for linear momentum $(p)$ is given by:
$p = m \times v$
Where:
$p$ = Linear momentum
$m$ = Mass of the object
$v$ = Velocity of the object
The $SI$ unit of linear momentum is $kg \cdot m/s$.

View SolutionIn projectile motion,two particles of masses $m_1$ and $m_2$ have velocities $\vec{V}_1$ and $\vec{V}_2$ respectively at time $t=0$. Their velocities become $\vec{V}_1^{\prime}$ and $\vec{V}_2^{\prime}$ at time $2t$ while still moving in air. The value of $[(m_1 \vec{V}_1^{\prime} + m_2 \vec{V}_2^{\prime}) - (m_1 \vec{V}_1 + m_2 \vec{V}_2)]$ is ($g =$ acceleration due to gravity).
$A$ ball of mass $400\, g$ is dropped from a height of $5\, m$. $A$ boy standing on the ground hits the ball vertically upwards with a bat with an average force of $100\, N$ so that it reaches a height of $20\, m$. For how long does the ball remain in contact with the bat (in $, s$)? $[g = 10\, m/s^2]$

View SolutionIn an hour-glass,approximately $100$ grains of sand fall per second (starting from rest); and it takes $2 \, s$ for each sand particle to reach the bottom of the hour-glass. If the average mass of each sand particle is $0.2 \, g$,then the average force exerted by the falling sand on the bottom of the hour-glass is close to .......... $N$.
