Suppose a logs mass was 5kg. After burning, the mass of the ash is 1 kg. Explain what may have happened to the other 4kg?

Well, we know that mass is conserved, so the missing 4 kg couldn't
just disappear.  It had to go somewhere.

It may have left the burning log in the form of hot gases and smoke particles.

If Weight=mg and Force=ma, and the only force acting on an object is gravity, then the masses cancel each other out and you are
gregori [183]

When g=a, that means everything on earth fall at the same rate.

<h3>Why does everything fall to the earth at the same rate?</h3>

As such, all objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity.

<h3>Why is gravity equal to acceleration?</h3>

When objects fall to the ground, gravity causes them to accelerate. Acceleration is a change in velocity, and velocity, in turn, is a measure of the speed and direction of motion. Gravity causes an object to fall toward the ground at a faster and faster velocity the longer the object falls.

The speed on a car speedometer. Is it speed or velocity? Explain Why
Sliva [168]
Velocity is a speed AND a direction.
When you turn a corner, or go around a curve in the road, your
direction changes, but the reading on the dial doesn't change.
So it can't be showing velocity.  It must be showing only speed.
That's probably a big part of the reason why it's called a speedometer
and not a velocimeter.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.8 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.8 kg
kaheart [24]

Answer:

a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b) v₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0.8\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)\\v_2 = 5\ m/s - 0.8\ m/s

<u>v₂ = 4.2 m/s</u>

<u></u>

b)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)

<u>v₂ = 5 m/s</u>

A massive tractor rolls down a country road. in a perfectly inelastic collision, a small sports car runs into the machine from b
Helga [31]
The answer for this change in the magnitude of momentum is the same for both because momentum is always conserved so both vehicles have the identical change. 
So for determining who has the greater change in kinetic energy, momentum (P) = mv so P^2 = m^2 v^2 P^2 / 2m = 1/2 m v^2 = energy So the weightier the mass the smaller the energy change for the same momentum change so in here, the car has a greater change in kinetic energy.
