JEE Main 2022Center of Mass Momentum and Collision Question with Solution

JEE Main 2022 (28 Jul Shift 1)

Question

In two different experiments, an object of mass 5 kg moving with a speed of 25 ms-1 hits two different walls and comes to rest within
(i) 3 second, (ii) 5 seconds, respectively.
Choose the correct option out of the following :

Correct answer
BImpulse will be same for both the cases but the average force will be different.

Step-by-step explanation

Impulse = Change in momentum

I=ΔP

Therefore, in both the cases the impulse is same.

Average force is defined as,

Favg =ΔPΔt

Since the time in the two cases is different, the average force will be different.
