During a game of table tennis,if the ball hits a player,it does not hurt him. On the other hand,when a fast-moving cricket ball hits a spectator,it may hurt him. State the reason.

  • A
    The cricket ball has more mass and velocity.
  • B
    The table tennis ball has more mass.
  • C
    The cricket ball has less momentum.
  • D

What is momentum? Write its $SI$ unit. Interpret force in terms of momentum. Represent the following graphically:
$(a)$ Momentum versus velocity when mass is fixed.
$(b)$ Momentum versus mass when velocity is constant.

If the time taken to bring a ball to rest from a certain velocity $v$ is reduced to half,what will be the changes in values of
$(a)$ Initial and final momentum.
$(b)$ Change of momentum.
$(c)$ Rate of change of momentum.

In the following table,the mass and speed of two bodies are given. Which body has more momentum? Justify your answer.
BodyMass $(kg)$Speed $(m s^{-1})$
$A$$1$$10$
$B$$2$$9$

$(a)$ Define force and state three possible effects of force on an object.
$(b)$ $A$ motorcycle is moving with a velocity of $90 \, km \, h^{-1}$ and it takes $5 \, s$ to stop after the brakes are applied. Calculate the force exerted by the brakes on the motorcycle if its mass along with the rider is $200 \, kg$.

$A$ certain force exerted for $1.2 \, s$ raises the speed of an object from $1.8 \, m s^{-1}$ to $4.2 \, m s^{-1}$. Later, the same force is applied for $2 \, s$. How much does the speed change in $2 \, s$?
