    $-6 \, m s^{-2}, 480 \, N$
  • B
    $-5 \, m s^{-2}, 400 \, N$
  • C
    $-4 \, m s^{-2}, 320 \, N$
  • D
    $-6 \, m s^{-2}, 400 \, N$

Suppose a ball of mass $m$ is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed $v$. Its speed decreases continuously until it becomes zero. Thereafter,the ball begins to fall downward and attains the speed $v$ again before striking the ground. It implies that the magnitude of the initial and final momentum of the ball are the same. Yet,it is not an example of the conservation of momentum. Explain why?

$A$ motor car is moving with a velocity of $108 \, km \, h^{-1}$ and it takes $4 \, s$ to stop after the brakes are applied. Find the force exerted by the brakes on the motor car if its mass along with the passengers is $1000 \, kg$.
