Write down the two numbers, one under the other, with the decimal points lined up.

Add zeros so the numbers have the same length.

Then subtract normally, remembering to put the decimal point in the answer.

Answer:

The first step is to make the divisor a whole number by multiplying it by a power of 10. When you multiply the divisor by a power of 10, you must multiply the dividend by the same power of 10. Then divide. Check your answer using estimation.

Two physics students are doing a side competition during a game of bowling, seeing who can toss a ball with the larger momentum.

dem82 [27]

Answer:

she should beat a speed of v₂ = 6.04 m/s in order to win the competition

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the momentum p is defined as

p = m*v

where

m= mass of the ball

v= velocity of the ball

denoting 1 and 2 as the first and second bowler , then to reach the momentum of the first bowler

p₂=p₁

therefore

m₁*v₁ = m₂*v₂

v₂ = v₁ * (m₁/m₂)

replacing values

v₂ = v₁ * (m₁/m₂) =8.6 m/s * (4.5 kg/6.4 kg ball) = 6.04 m/s

then since the momentum p = m*v increases with increasing v (at constant m) , she should beat a speed of v₂ = 6.04 m/s in order to win the competition
