Answer:
The ball experiences the greater momentum change
Explanation:
The momentum change of each object is given by:

where
m is the mass of the object
v is the final velocity
u is the initial velocity
Both objects have same mass m and same initial velocity u. So we have:
- For the ball, the final velocity is

Since it bounces back (so, opposite direction --> negative sign) with same speed (so, the magnitude of the final velocity is still u). So the change in momentum is

- For the clay, the final velocity is

since it sticks to the wall. So, the change in momentum is

So we see that the greater momentum change (in magnitude) is experienced by the ball.
Answer:
<u>FALSE.</u>
Explanation:
Newton's third law states that :
- <em>Every action has equal and opposite reaction</em>
- <em>That is , the magnitude is the same but the directions are opposite</em>
- <em>The action reaction forces DONOT operate on the same body.</em>
For example ,
If a block is kept on the ground , the action force is the normal force acting on it due to the ground. <em>BUT , NOTE THAT : the reaction force isn't the gravitational force on the body ! It is the normal force acting on the ground due to the block !</em>
Thus,
we conclude that action and reaction forces donot act on the same body and therefore , this case has the <u>answer : FALSE </u>
The answer is false. The speed of the astronaut cancels out the force of gravity, causing a 'stationary freefall'. While under these effects, it is not required for an astronaut to 'strengthen' his body.
Answer:
the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.
Explanation:
The initial electric force between the two charges is:

where
k is the Coulomb's constant
q is the magnitude of each charge
r is their separation
Later, half of one charge is transferred to the other charge; this means that one charge will have a charge of

while the other charge will be

So, the new force will be

So, the force will decrease to 3/4 of its original value.
