In a closed system, the loss of momentum of one object is same as________ the gain in momentum of another object
according to law of conservation of momentum, total momentum before and after collision in a closed system in absence of any net external force, remains conserved . that is
total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision
P₁ + P₂ = P'₁ + P'₂
where P₁ and P₂ are momentum before collision for object 1 and object 2 respectively.
P'₁ - P₁ = - (P'₂ - P₂)
so clearly gain in momentum of one object is same as the loss of momentum of other object
The contact force is indeed caused by "Contact".
Air resistance is basically a type of friction, which is apparently present providing two object contact.
The rest selections are all interaction force, which is not necessarily caused by contact.
This instrument is called a spring scale.
Answer:
3.0 x10^-3 J
Explanation:
The potential energy of a spring is given by PE = (0.5)k*x^2
Where
K: Spring Constant = 60 N/m
x: displacement of the spring from its equilibrium position = 1cm = 0.01m
Then PE = 0.5(60)(.01)^2 = 0.003J = 3.0 x10^-3 J
