Answer
Step-by-step solution
5 stepsConvert the mass to kilograms.
Given mass .
Define the initial and final velocities, considering direction.
Let the initial direction of motion be positive.
Initial velocity .
After collision, the body moves in the opposite direction, so the final velocity is negative.
Final velocity .Calculate the initial momentum ().
Momentum is given by .
Calculate the final momentum ().
Calculate the change in momentum ().
The change in momentum is the final momentum minus the initial momentum.
The magnitude of the change in momentum is . The negative sign indicates the change is in the direction opposite to the initial motion.
