    A ball is thrown up at an angle with the horizontal. Then the total change of momentum by the instant it returns to ground is

    A)  acceleration due to gravity \[\times \] total time of flight

    B)  weight of the ball \[\times \] half the time of flight

    C)  weight of the ball \[\times \]total time of flight

    D)  weight of the ball \[\times \]horizontal range

    Correct Answer: C

    Solution :

    Change in momentum of the ball \[=mv\,\,\sin \theta -(-mv\sin \theta )=2mv\sin \theta \] \[=mg\times \frac{2v\sin \theta }{g}\] = weight of the ball total time of flight
