Q124 / 200 · NEET 2011 (Screening) · Physics
A body of mass $M$ hits normally a rigid wall with velocity $y$ and bounces back with the same velocity. The impulse experienced by the body is
- A$1.5 \mathrm{Mv}$
- Correct answerB$2 \mathrm{Mv}$
- Czero
- D$M v$
Solution
Impulse
$\begin{aligned}
|J| & =|\Delta p| \\
& =M v-(-Mv) \\
& =2 Mv
\end{aligned}$
Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
