Two billiard balls of equal mass are traveling straight toward each other with the same speed. They meet head-on in an elastic c

ollision. What is the total momentum of the system containing the two balls before the collision? What about after the collision?

5 0

Answer:

0 kg m/s before and after collision

Explanation:

Let m, v be the mass and speed of the 2 balls, respectively, before the collision. Since they have the same mass and same speed but in opposite direction, the total momentum of the system would be:

P = mv - mv = 0 kg m/s

As the collision is elastic. The total momentum after the collision is the same as the total momentum before the collision, which is 0.

A child throws a baseball directly upward. What are the signs of the velocity and acceleration of the ball at the very top of th
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

velocity zero and acceleration negative

Explanation:

According to the directions taken in the vector analysis, the direction which is upwards taken as positive, the direction which is downwards is taken as negative.

The direction which is rightwards taken as positive and the direction which is leftwards taken as negative.

here, ball throws vertically upwards and it attains a maximum height. At maximum height the magnitude of velocity is zero but the acceleration is always acting downwards so it is taken as negative in sign.

You jump off a truck and accelerate toward the surface of the Earth. Does the Earth accelerate toward you?
Triss [41]

When we jump from the truck and accelerate towards the earth surface, the earth also accelerates towards us but it's acceleration is very negligible.

To find the answer, we need to know about the acceleration of earth due to the gravitational attraction.

<h3>What's the gravitational force between the earth and a person?</h3>
  • Gravitational attraction force is GMm/r² between the earth and a person.
  • M= mass of the earth

m= mass of the person

r= separation between them.

<h3>What's the acceleration of the earth towards the person when he jumps from a truck?</h3>
  • According to Newton's second law, Force = M×acceleration
  • Acceleration= Force / M
  • Here, Force = GMm/r²,

so acceleration of earth= Gm/r²

  • As this acceleration is very small, so we can't notice it.

Thus, we can conclude that the earth also accelerates towards us.

Danielle exerts a 14.0 N force to compress a spring by a distance of 8.00 cm. What is the spring constant of this spring
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

175 N/m

Explanation:

Given:

Force = F=  14.0 N

Distance = x = 8.00 cm = 0.08 m

To find:

spring constant

Solution:

spring constant is calculated by using Hooke's law:

k =  F/x

Putting the values in above formula:

k = 14.0 / 0.08

k = 175 N/m
