You throw a bouncy rubber ball and a wet lump of clay, both of mass m, at a wall. Both strike the wall at speed v, but while the

ball bounces off with no loss of speed, the clay sticks. What is the change in momentum of the clay and ball, respectively, assuming that toward the wall is the positive direction?

Answer:

Change in momentum of the wet lump of clay = -mv

Change in momentum of the bouncy rubber ball = -2mv

Explanation:

Momentum, p = mv

Change in momentum of the wet lump of clay

The initial velocity of the wet lump of clay of mass, m is v, so its initial momentum is p₁ = mv. Since it sticks to the wall, its final velocity is zero. So its final momentum is p₂ = m × 0 = 0. Its change in momentum Δp = p₂ - p₁ = 0 - mv = -mv

Change in momentum of the bouncy rubber ball

The initial velocity of the rubber ball of mas m is v, so its initial momentum is p₃ = mv. Since it bounces of the wall with no loss of speed and thus moves in the opposite direction to its initial direction, its final velocity is -v. So its final momentum is p₄ = m × -v = -mv. Its change in momentum Δp = p₄ - p₃ = -mv - mv = -2mv

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Increasing until terminal velocity is reached

Explanation:

Provided the scream is a constant pitch at the source, Doppler effect will make the pitch increase as the velocity of the source towards the listener increases.

Alexxx [7]

Answer: vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

Explanation :on the moon no drag force so we have only the  force of gravity. aceleration is g(moon)= 1.62m/s2.the rest is basic kinematics

if the rock travels H to the bottom we can calculate velocity:

vo=0m/s (drops the rock)  , yo=0

vf*vf= vo*vo+2g(y-yo)

when the rock is halfway  y = H/2 so:

vf1*vf1=2*g*H/2 so vf1 = sqrt(gH)

when the rock reach the bottom y=H so:

vf2*vf2=2*g*H so vf2 = sqrt(2gH)

so vf1/vf2= 1/ sqrt(2)

good luck from colombia

Why doesn't every planet have a moon?​
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Up first are Mercury and Venus. Neither of them has a moon. Because Mercury is so close to the Sun and its gravity, it wouldn't be able to hold on to its own moon. Any moon would most likely crash into Mercury or maybe go into orbit around the Sun and eventually get pulled into it.
