) A 100-g ball falls from a window that is 12 m above ground level and experiences no significant air resistance as it falls. What is its momentum when it strikes the ground?

Momentum = 1.534 kgm/s

Explanation:

Using the equations of motion, we can obtain the velocity of the ball as it hits the ground.

g = 9.8 m/s²

y = 12 m

u = initial velocity = 0 m/s, since the ball was released from rest

v = final velocity befor the ball hits the ground.

v² = u² + 2ay

v² = 0 + 2×9.8×12 = 235.2

v = 15.34 m/s

The momentum at any point is given as mass × velocity at that point

Mass = 100 g = 0.1 kg, velocity = 15.34 m/s

Momentum = 0.1 × 15.34 = 1.534 kgm/s

jupiter is the largest planet in our solar system, having a mass and radius that are respectively, 318 and 11.2 times that of earth. suppose that an object falls from rest near the surface of each planet and that the acceleration due to gravity remains constant during the fall. each object falls the same distance before striking the ground. determine the ratio of the time of fall on jupiter to that on earth.
