A ball of mass 0.50 kg is thrown straight up at 6.0 m/s. (a)What is the initial momentum of the ball? (b) What is the momentum of the ball at its peak? (c)What is the momentum of the ball as it hits the ground

Answer 1

p = mv
at its peak, v=0
same speed as it hits as when it left

Answer 2

A)P=mv >> 0.50 X 6.0 = 3
B)Peak V=0
C)final momentum = -3
