Type: MCQ-numerical-Medium-Class 11
A particle of mass m is projected with velocity v making an angle of 45° with the horizontal. When the particle lands on the level ground the magnitude of the change in its momentum will be
A
zero
B
2 mv
C
mv√2
D
mv√2
Correct Answer
Option D
Detailed Explanation
The change in momentum is calculated using the formula 2mv sinθ. At 45°, sinθ = √2/2, leading to a change in momentum of mv√2.
