To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the equations related to the conservation of momentum. Mathematically this can be expressed as
Where,
= Mass of each object
= Initial velocity of each object
= Final Velocity
Since the receiver's body is static for the initial velocity we have that the equation would become
Therefore the velocity right after catching the ball is 0.0975m/s
Answer:
D. the masses of the objects and the distance between them
Explanation:
Gravitation is a force, a force doesn't care about the shape or density of objects, only about their masses... and distances.
And you can get it using the following equation:
Where :
G is the universal gravitational constant : G = 6.6726 x 10-11N-m2/kg2
m represent the mass of each of the two objects
d is the distance between the centers of the objects.
