Momentum can be negative.how?

Payal Singh 6 years, 8 months ago

If we decide that the downward direction is positive (that is displacement, velocity etc.is +ve in the downward direction) then the direction opposite to it is negative.

If we drop a ball from roof then

  • when the ball falls down it has +ve velocity

∴ the product m.v that is momentum is positive (mass cannot be negative) 

  •  after the bounce, the velocity is in the negative direction

∴ product m.v that is momentum is negative
