A body of mass m moves in a horizontal circle of radius r at a constant speed v. What is the change in linear momentum of the body when it moves from X to Y (where XY is a diameter) ?

let xcap be the direction of the mass m at any position of the diameter 2r.
Hence,
Linear momentum = Mvfinal – mvinitial
Hence,
P = mvxcap – (-mvxcap) = > 2mV(xcap)
Hence xcap is a particular direction.
