g A lighter ball A with momentum PA=5.0 kg∙m/s in positive x-direction approaches a heavier ball B at rest before the collision.

After this head-on collision, the lighter ball bounces straight back with a momentum P’A=2.0 kg∙ m/s in negative x-direction. What is the magnitude of the heavier ball B’s momentum change?

Answer:

7kgm/s

Explanation:

Using the law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum of momentum of bodies before collision is equal to the sum of the bodies after collision.

Let P1A and P1B be the initial momentum of the bodies A and B respectively

Let P2A and P2B be the final momentum of the bodies A and B respectively after collision.

Based on the law:

P1A+P2A = P1B + P2B

Given P1A = 5kgm/s

P2A = 0kgm/s(ball B at rest before collision)

P2A = -2.0kgm/s (negative because it moves in the negative x direction)

P2B = ?

Substituting the values in the equation gives;

5+0 = -2+P2B

5+2 = P2B

P2B = 7kgm/s

Karo-lina-s [1.5K]

Answer:

8000

Explanation:

V²=U²+2as

V=400m/s

U=0

a=10

s=?

(400)²=(0)²+2*10*a

160,000=20s

s=160,000/20

s=8000

A pump is to lift 18 kg of water per minute tthrough a height of 3.6 m. what output rating (watts) should the pump have?
MrRa [10]
Given: Mass m = 18 Kg;   Height h = 3.6 m;   Time t = 60 s

Required:  Power output  in unit of Watts

Formula: P = mgh/t

               P = (18 Kg)(9.8 m/s²)(3.6 m)/60 s

               P = 10.58 J/s or Watts
