Answer:

It is possible by increasing the speed of the tennis ball by a factor of (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Explanation:

The momentum of a body = The bod's mass × The body's velocity

Therefore, the momentum of a given mass of an object, such as a tennis ball can be increased by increasing the velocity or speed of the object. Whereby the speed of the ball, v₁, is increased such that the momentum of the basketball and the tennis ball will be the same, is given by the following equation

Mass of the basketball × v₂ = Mass of the tennis ball × v₁

Therefore, v₁/v₂ = (Mass of the tennis ball)/(Mass of the basketball)

Starburst galaxies:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

are often associated with a galaxy that is colliding with another galaxy.

Explanation:

A starburst galaxy is a galaxy that undergoes very fast formation of stars. The rate at which stars are born is 100 times more than 3 solar masses per year of the Milky Way. The starburst is stage of the formation of a galaxy. After this stage is complete the stars will have used almost all the gas in it. As the star formation rate is very fast the difference between the age of the stars and the galaxy itself is very less. The star formation is triggered by mergers and tidal interactions between gas-rich galaxies.

The gravitational field at the Moon in N/kg due to the Earth is approximately (G = 6.67 × 10-11 N m2/kg2, the mass of the Earth
rosijanka [135]

Answer:

F = 2.69 10⁻³ m   [ N]

Explanation:

This exercise asks to calculate the gravitational field of the Earth on the lunar surface, let's use the universal gravitation law

          F = G m M / r²

where m is the mass of the body, M the mass of the Earth and r the distance between the Earth and the Moon

         F = (G M / r²) m

         F = (6.67 10⁻¹¹ 5.98 10²⁴ / (3.85 10⁸)² ) m

         F = 2.69 10⁻³ m   [ N]

This force is directed from the Moon towards the Earth, therefore it reduces the weight of the body
