Answer:
A. 1.4 m/s to the left
Explanation:
To solve this problem we must use the principle of conservation of momentum. Let's define the velocity signs according to the direction, if the velocity is to the right, a positive sign will be introduced into the equation, if the velocity is to the left, a negative sign will be introduced into the equation. Two moments will be analyzed in this equation. The moment before the collision and the moment after the collision. The moment before the collision is taken to the left of the equation and the moment after the collision to the right, so we have:
where:
M = momentum [kg*m/s]
M = m*v
where:
m = mass [kg]
v = velocity [m/s]
where:
m1 = mass of the basketball = 0.5 [kg]
v1 = velocity of the basketball before the collision = 5 [m/s]
m2 = mass of the tennis ball = 0.05 [kg]
v2 = velocity of the tennis ball before the collision = - 30 [m/s]
v3 = velocity of the basketball after the collision [m/s]
v4 = velocity of the tennis ball after the collision = 34 [m/s]
Now replacing and solving:
(0.5*5) - (0.05*30) = (0.5*v3) + (0.05*34)
1 - (0.05*34) = 0.5*v3
- 0.7 = 0.5*v
v = - 1.4 [m/s]
The negative sign means that the movement is towards left
Answer:
<em> B.0</em>
Explanation:
Change in momentum: This is defined as the product of mass and change in velocity of a body. or it can be defined as the product of force and time of a body. The fundamental unit of change in momentum is kg.m/s
Change in momentum = M(V-U)......................... Equation 1
where M = mass of the ball, V = final velocity of the ball, U = initial velocity of the ball.
Let: M = m kg and V = U = v m/s
Substituting these values into equation 1
Change in momentum = m(v-v)
Change in momentum = m(0)
Change in momentum = 0 kg.m/s
<em>Therefore the momentum of the ball has not changed.</em>
<em>The right option is B.0</em>
Answer:
The ocean tides on earth are caused by both the moon's gravity and the sun's gravity. ... Even though the sun is much more massive and therefore has stronger overall gravity than the moon, the moon is closer to the earth so that its gravitational gradient is stronger than that of the sun.
Archimedes found a piece of gold and a piece of silver with exactly the same mass. He dropped the gold into a bowl filled to the brim with water and measured the volume of water that spilled out. Then he did the same thing with the piece of solver. Although both metals had the same mass, the silver gad a larger volume; therefore, it displaced more water than the gold did. That's because the silver was less dense than gold. Afterwards he applied the same method to the crown for the king he served who had got a new crown from a jeweler who gave it to him. Archimedes found a piece of pure gold that had the same mass as the crown. He placed the pure gold chuck and the crown in water, one at a time. The crown displaced more water the piece of gold. Therefore, its density was less than pure gold.
The scientific revolution is a concept which explains how the developments of science (biology, chemistry, physics and etc.) changed the way we (society) think about nature. I hope this helps! :)
