Linear Momentum 2 With Solution
Linear Momentum 2 With Solution
A solid (S), considered as a particle, of mass 𝑚 = 400 𝑔 moves along a vertical track ABC makes an
angle 𝛼 = 30° with the horizontal as shown in document (1).
The curve of document (2) represents the algebraic value of the (S) A
linear momentum P of (S) as a function of time t during its motion
between A to C. Take: B
𝑔 = 10 𝑚⁄𝑠2 ;
𝑡ℎ𝑒 horizontal plane containing A as a reference level for
C α
gravitational potential energy.

1) Motion of (S) along the path AB
(S) starts its motion at 𝑡0 = 0𝑠. at point A and reaches B at the instant 𝑡1 = 1𝑠.
1-1) Use the document (2) to:
1-1-1) Prove that (S) starts its motion from rest. P (Kgm/s)
1-1-2) Calculate the speed 𝑉𝐵 of (S) at point B.
