Answer:
We know the momentum after the collision MUST be equal to the momentum BEFORE the collision.
Momentum is a VECTOR quantity having both magnitude and direction. The first ball has momentum P =m*v = 2*4 = 8 at 90degrees. The second ball has momentum P = 1*8 = 8 at -90 or 270 degrees. They sum to zero when you perform vector addition.
Explanation:
I believe it’s A. I know for sure it isn’t D.
Answer:
1.41 m/s^2
Explanation:
First of all, let's convert the two speeds from km/h to m/s:


Now we find the centripetal acceleration which is given by

where
v = 12.8 m/s is the speed
r = 140 m is the radius of the curve
Substituting values, we find

we also have a tangential acceleration, which is given by

where
t = 17.0 s
Substituting values,

The two components of the acceleration are perpendicular to each other, so we can find the resultant acceleration by using Pythagorean theorem:

15 degrees because a glass of water won't do anything to a bath tub of 15 degree water
