Momentum is defined as the quantity of motion. Only moving bodies possess momentum. It is a vector quantity and its direction is same as that of velocity. Momentum is measured as the product of mass and velocity. Momentum of a body is a measure of the …

a ball is dropped from elevator moving upward with an accleration ‘a’ by a boy standing in it . the acceleration of ball with respect to elevator
Divya asks: a ball is dropped from elevator moving upward with an accleration ‘a’ by a boy standing in it . the acceleration of ball with respect to elevator is? (take upward direction positive)
A question from Kinematics.
An object thrown vertically up from the ground passes the height 5m twice in an interval of 10s. What is its time of flight? (Divya asked) Answer: The question seems partial. I am assuming that g= 10 m/s2 and the projection is strictly vertical. The o…
