A ball of mass 'm' moves with speed 'v' and it strikes normally with a wall and reflects back normally with the same speed, if its time of contact with the wall is 't' then find the force exerted by the ball on the wall:

If I, a and t are the moment of inertia, angular acceleration and torque respectively of a body rotating about any axis with angular velocity w, then

Linear Momentum
  1. Linear momentum of a body is the quantity of motion contained in the body.

  2. It is measured in terms of the force required to stop the body in unit time.

  3. . If a body of mass $m$ is moving with velocity $\vec{v}$, then its linear momentum $\vec{p}$ is given by $\vec{p}=m \vec{v}$.
    4. It is a vector quantity and its direction is the same as the direction of the velocity of the body.
    5. S.I. Unit : kg-m/sec
    6. Dimension- $\mathrm{MLT}^{-1}$
    7. If two objects of different masses have the same momentum, the lighter body possesses greater velocity.

    As $\mathrm{p}=\mathrm{m}_1 \mathrm{v}_1=\mathrm{m}_2 \mathrm{v}_2=$ constant

    $$
    \therefore \frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{m_2}{m_1} \Rightarrow V \alpha \frac{1}{m}
    $$
