A bowling ball of mass 5.8 kg moves in a straight line at 4.34 m/s How fast must a Ping-Pong ball of mass 2.214 g move in a stra

lilavasa [31]

Answer: 11369.46 m/s

Explanation:

We have the following data:

$m_{1}=5.8 kg$ is the mass of the bowling ball

$V_{1}=4.34 m/s$ is the velocity of the bowling ball

$m_{2}=2.214 g \frac{1 kg}{1000 g}=0.002214 kg$ is the mass of the ping-pong ball

$V_{2}$ is the velocity of the ping-pong ball

Now, the momentum $p_{1}$ of the bowling ball is:

$p_{1}=m_{1}V_{1}$ (1)

$p_{1}=(5.8 kg)(4.34 m/s)$

$p_{1}=25.172 kg m/s$ (2)

And the momentum $p_{2}$ of the ping-pong ball is:

$p_{2}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (3)

If the momentum of the bowling ball is equal to the momentum of the ping-pong ball:

$p_{1}=p_{2}$ (4)

$m_{1}V_{1}=m_{2}V_{2}$ (5)

Isolating $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{2}}$ (6)

$V_{2}=\frac{25.172 kg m/s}{0.002214 kg}$ (7)

Finally:

$V_{2}=11369.46 m/s$

What is the time lapse between seeing a lightning strike and hearing the thunder if the lightning flash is 47 km away? The speed

Natali5045456 [20]

Answer:

141.14098 secs

Explanation:

Time taken to see the lightning flash can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(3 * 10^8)

Time = 0.0001567 secs

Time taken to hear the thunder can be gotten from:

Velocity = distance/time

Time = distance/velocity

Time = (47 * 1000)/(333)

Time = 141.14114 secs

The time lapse between the lightning flash and the thunder will be:

141.14114 - 0. 0001567

= 141.14098 secs

What is E=m² the famous theory of albert einstien?

pshichka [43]

Actually it's $E = mc^{2}$ and it says that the energy of an object (E) is equal to the mass (m) of the object multiplied with the squared speed of light ( $c^{2}$ ). This theory says that mass can be turned into energy and energy can be turned into mass. This is one of Einstein's theory of relativity.
