– Ans: C. gravitational PE = 1 + (0.2x0.3) = 1.06J

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.
