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

A tire sits atop a ramp. When the tire is released, it rolls down the ramp. At the ramp's bottom, the speeding tire knocks down
k0ka [10]

Answer:

mechanical energy

Explanation:

Mechanical energy is the combination of both potential energy and kinetic

Mechanical energy can be divided as

1)kinetic energy, this energy vis regarded as the energy of motion

2) potential energy which is the stored energy of position.

Mechanical energy reffered to as

motion energy this energy is responsible for the movement of an object based on its position as well as motion.

Mechanical energy= U + K

Where U= potential energy

K= Kinectic energy

As the tire is sitting on top of a ramp, it posses "potential energy" as it is released and rolls down the ramp the potential is converted to Kinectic energy

HELP PLS.<br><br><br>What are the characteristics of the three states of matter?
vredina [299]

Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas. Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. A solid will retain its shape; the particles are not free to move around. Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. Hopefully this helps:)

You exert of force of 75 newtons on a rock. You push and you push, but you can't budge it. You are exhausted! How much work did
sergiy2304 [10]
You performed 0 work for the fact that work means the distance of movement made on an object not the amount of force it is exposed to. 0 work because it didn't move
