Newton's Cradle.A Newton's cradle is composed of row metal balls, each hung from a string attached to a horizontal rod, so that

when they are rest, they are nearly touching each other (and form a neat line). Explain and prove (mathematically!) why, releasing balls causes the same number of balls on the other side of the cradle to be ejected?

Answer:

In Newton's Cradle there are N number of balls are suspended from the thread such that they all touch each other.

Now when we pull one ball apart and released then after the collision one ball on the other side moves up

Then in next time if we pull two balls from one side then after collision it will pull upwards exactly two balls on the other side after collision.

So here the number of balls on the other side is exactly same every time we pull the balls.

This is due to the conservation of momentum principle

As we know that all the balls are identical here then when we pull any number of balls on one side and then release them then after collision the momentum of the balls is transferred to same amount of the balls on the other side

Since there is no external force on this system so we can say that that this momentum conservation will exist for all cases and all number.

Why can gases and liquids both transmit heat by convection?
Firlakuza [10]
Basically, the temperature is a result of the average kinetic energy of all the atoms comprising the solid/liquid/gas. In solid, these atoms can just vibrate in place, leaving them to only be able to conduct and radiate heat. However, as you probably know liquids and solids take the shape of their container because the bonds between atoms are loose enough to allow them to freely move around. Due to each individual atom having its own energy, and these atoms being free to move about the liquid/gas they collide with other atoms in the substance. These collisions result in a transfer of energy. Finally, lower energy atoms "sink" and higher energy atoms "rise" thus creating a "convection current".

Dacia wants to know how to determine the polar coordinate θ. What should Katarina tell Dacia?
crimeas [40]

Answer:

r = √ x² + y²   and θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

Explanation:

The polar coordinates are obtained by transforming the Cartesian coordinates (x y) into others (r tés), for this we use to find r the Pythagorean theorem

          r = √ x² + y²

To find teas we use trigonometries

       tan θ = y / x

      θ = tan⁻¹ y / x

In general the angle can be given in any unit, but the most used in physics is in radians
