Repeat the experiment to make sure it gives the same results.
Hope i helped ; )
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>
The one fact that needs to be mentioned but isn't given anywhere on or around the graph is: The distance, on the vertical axis, is the distance FROM home. So any point on the graph where the distance is zero ... the point is in the x-axis ... is a point AT home.
Segment D ...
Walking AWAY from home; distance increases as time increases.
Segment B ...
Not walking; distance doesn't change as time increases.
Segment C ...
Walking away from home, but slower than before; distance increases as time increases, but not as fast. Slope is less than segment-D.
Segment A ...
Going home; distance is DEcreasing as time increases. Walking pretty fast ... the slope of the line is steep.
