Momentum should be conserved. The momentum of both
objects must balance with their initial and final momentum.
Let m1 and v1 be the mass and velocity of the
bowling ball
And m2 and v2 be the mass and velocity of the
bowling pin
(m1v1)i + (m2v2)i = (m1v1)f + (m2v2)f
30 kg m/s + (1.5 kg)(0 m/s) = 13kg m/s + 1.5v2f
V2f = 11.33 m/s
<span>So the momentum = 1.5 kg(11.33 m/s) = 17 kg m/s</span>
Answer:
Two cars of equal weight and braking ability are travelling along the same road but combined with other factors it could mean the difference between life.
A frog can be many different colours. It appears green under normal 'white' light because it absorbs all the other colours in the light's spectrum apart from green. It reflects the green light back and that is picked up by your eye.
If the light is red, there is no green in the spectrum of the light, only red. So, the red light will be absorbed and there is no green to be reflected back for you to see. Therefore, the frog will not look green.
Answer:
Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)
Explanation:
Given:
Initial velocity = 8 m/s
Distance s = 16 m
Starting acceleration (a) = 0
Computation:
s = ut + 1/2a(t)²
16 = 8t
t = 2 sec
Height of cliff = S
Gravitational acceleration = 10 m/s
S = 1/2a(t)²
S = 1/2(10)(2)²
Height of cliff = S = 20 m (Approx)
The distance an object falls from rest through gravity is
D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Distance = (1/2 acceleration of gravity) x (square of the falling time)
We want to see how the time will be affected
if ' D ' doesn't change but ' g ' does.
So I'm going to start by rearranging the equation
to solve for ' t '. D = (1/2) (g) (t²)
Multiply each side by 2 : 2 D = g t²
Divide each side by ' g ' : 2 D/g = t²
Square root each side: t = √ (2D/g)
Looking at the equation now, we can see what happens to ' t ' when only ' g ' changes:
-- ' g ' is in the denominator; so bigger 'g' ==> shorter 't'
and smaller 'g' ==> longer 't' .--
They don't change by the same factor, because 1/g is inside the square root. So 't' changes the same amount as √1/g does.
Gravity on the surface of the moon is roughly 1/6 the value of gravity on the surface of the Earth.
So we expect ' t ' to increase by √6 = 2.45 times.
It would take the same bottle (2.45 x 4.95) = 12.12 seconds to roll off the same window sill and fall 120 meters down to the surface of the Moon.
