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)

If Scoobie could drive a Jetson's flying car at a constant speed of 450.0 km/hr across oceans and space, approximately how long
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The value is t = 3.6 \  days

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

The speed is v  =  450.0 km/h

The radius of the earth is R =  6200 \  km

Generally the circumfernce of the earth is mathematically evaluated as

C =  2\pi  R

=> C =   2 * 3.142 *   6200

=> C =  38960.8 \ km

Generally the time taken is mathematically represented as

t =  \frac{38960.8}{450.0}

         t = 86.6 \  hr

Converting to days

         t = \frac{86.6}{24}

=>       t = 3.6 \  days
