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

The question is in the picture
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

e) 120m/s

Explanation:

When the ball reaches its highest point, its velocity becomes zero, meaning

v_0-gt = 0.

where v_0 is the initial velocity.

Solving for t we get

t = \dfrac{v_0}{g}

which is the time it takes the ball to reach the highest point.

Now, after the ball has reached its highest point, it turns around and falls downwards. After time t_0 since it had reached the highest point, the ball has traveled downwards and the velocity v_f it has gained is

v_f = gt_0,

and we are told that this is twice the initial velocity v_0; therefore,

v_f = 2v_0  = gt_0

which gives

t_0 = \dfrac{2v_0}{g}.

Thus, the total time taken to reach velocity 2v_0 is

t_{tot} = t+t_0 = \dfrac{v_0}{g}+\dfrac{2v_0}{g}

t_{tot} = \dfrac{3v_0}{g}.

This t_{tot}, we are told, is 36 seconds; therefore,

36= \dfrac{3v_0}{g},

and solving for v_0 we get:

v_0 = \dfrac{36g}{3}

v_0 = \dfrac{36s(10m/s^2)}{3}

\boxed{v_0 = 120m/s}

which from the options given is choice e.
