Momentum = mv
We need to find the velocities at the 2 instants mentioned.
As the golf ball reaches the surfaces after being dropped, all its potential energy is converted to kinetic energy.
½ mv12 = mgh1
Speed v1 as the ball reached the surface = √(2gh1)
Similarly, the kinetic energy of the ball just as it leaves the surface is converted to potential energy at height h2.
½ mv22 = mgh2
Speed v2 just as the ball leaves the surface = √(2gh2)
The direction of motion of the golf ball changes after hitting the hard surface, so the initial momentum should be added.
Total change in momentum = m (v2+v1)
Total change in momentum = m√(2gh1) + m√(2gh2)
2009.
but if you haven't tried p11 2012 try that its a must do paper.
Summer or winter?

Sorry didn't mention that its winter.
And thanks for the explanation.

Any idea why aluminium can sustain more plastic deformation than steel?

While putting tension on the bar, they monitor the load it takes to stretch the bar and how much it stretches in the process. .

If you divide the load by the cross sectional area and then divide that by the amount it stretched by the original length, you get values for steel around 30 x 10^ 6 psi . This is called the modulus of the material. For aluminum, it's value is roughly 10 x 10 ^ 6 psi.

This means aluminum will break sooner if all things are equal.

Aluminum does not have as much stretch capability as steel. Aluminum usually breaks after a very low stretch percentage. 3-4 % . Ity's more brittle than steel. Choosing the right steel, it can stretch close to 20 % or higher .

Having a very thick aluminum part can be made to be stronger than steel.

I just did this one the Ans is A.....I think current wont pass there because there is a shorter route of less resistance available
yes your reason seams correct.
i did it thinking that p.d across the 40ohm resistor zero so current also zero.
