NEET Physics Impulse & Momentum MCQ Question
Two billiard balls of mass 0.05 kg each collide and rebound with the same speed of 6 m/s in opposite directions. What is the magnitude of the impulse imparted to each ball by the other?
0.6 N s
0.3 N s
0.15 N s
0.75 N s
Correct Answer
Detailed Explanation
According to the NCERT context, impulse is equal to the change in momentum, which is calculated as m(v-final - v-initial). For each ball, this change is 0.05 kg * (6 m/s - (-6 m/s)) = 0.6 N s.
