We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball. What can we do ?
It's not a catastrophe. The question only asks which one is bigger. If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is. We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.
<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.
<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.
Explanation:it is beause they are sharper and also have less surface area and therefore more pressure
I think you wanted to know whether the statement in question is true or false. Assuming this fact, i am answering the question and hope that it helps you. It is a true fact that human activities can have an impact on natural disasters. The increase in global temperature due to emission of greenhouse gases can cause the sea level to rise and create hurricanes.
To solve this problem we will apply the concepts related to power as a function of the change of energy with respect to time. But we will consider the energy in the body equivalent to kinetic energy. The change in said energy will be the difference between the two velocity data given by half of the mass. We will first convert the given units into an international system like this
Initial Velocity,
Final Velocity,
Now Power is defined as the change of Energy over the time,
But Energy is equal to Kinetic Energy,
Replacing,
Therefore the correct answer is A.
