A hockey ball of mass 200 g travelling at 10 ms–1. It struck by a hockey stick so as to return. It along it's original path with a velocity at 5 ms–1. Calculate the change of momentum occurred in the motion of the hockey ball by the force applied by the hockey stick.

question pointer

According to the third law of motion when we push on an object, the object pushes back on us with an equal and opposite force. If the object is a massive truck parked along the roadside. It will probably not move, A student justifies this by answering that two opposite and equal forces cancel each other comment on this logic and explain why the truck does not move.

question pointer

A batsman hits a cricket ball which then rolls on a level ground. After covering a short distance, the ball comes to rest. The ball slows a stop because: (a)The batsman did not hit the ball hard enough.(b)Velocity is proportional to the force exerted on the ball.(c)These is a force on the ball opposing the motion.(d) These is no unbalanced force on the ball, so the ball would want to come to rest.
