Can someone help me in Q2 part 5 of this paper m/18 phy 22
Thanks :D

Δp = p2 - p
Rearranging gives:

Δp + p1 = p2

We know from the diagram the angle between p1 and p2.

The vector diagram:

You can use Pythagoras's theorem to find Δp.

In the final answer you should use the same number of sigfigs as the value with the smallest number of sigfigs in your calculation.

Example:

m = 1.90 kg (3sf)
v = 2.3 ms^-1 (2sf)

The kinetic energy here should have 2sf.

Got it. if the previous question is "show that~", should I use that value in the question or the value I calculated in more s.f ?
