    First you find the final velocity which is the velocity when the ball hots the ground: v^2 = v0^2 + 2ad. We know acceleration is - 9.8 and d is - 30 and v0 is 0 so all we do is plug everything to find v = ==> v = 24.25

    Now we find momentum which is mv so momentum is 2 times the velocity

    Momentum = 48.5 kg-m/s

    48.54kgm/s

    Explanation:

    Momentum is defined as the product of mass and velocity of an object. Mathematically,

    Momentum = Mass*velocity

    Given mass = 2kg

    Velocity of the body as it strikes the ground can be gotten using the equation of motion v² = u²+2as where;

    v = final velocity of the body

    u = initial velocity of the body = 0m/s

    a = g = acceleration due to gravity

    S = h = height covered by the rock

    The equation will then become

    v² = u²+2gh

    v² = 0²+2 (9.82) (30)

    v² = 589.2

    v = √589.2

    v = 24.27m/s

    the momentum of the ball at the time that it strikes the ground = mass * velocity

    = 2*24.27

    = 48.54kgm/s
