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.
Matter can be many things, but is mostly made of atoms. Atoms are small things that cannot be seen directly, as lights either passes through it or alters it. However, we know that atoms are made of 3 parts, those being the proton, neutron, and electron.
Protons have a positive electromagnetic charge.
Neutrons have no charge.
Electrons have a negative charge equal to the protons positive charge.
Protons and neutrons make up what's called the nucleus, which is orbited by the electrons.
Protons and neutrons also share another thing in common, that being their composition.
Until relatively recently, we thought that these were the smallest particles in the universe, and indestructible. However, modern discoveries have revealed that they are actually made of quarks and gluons.
These are actually indestructible, being part of the group that is elementary particles.
Answer:
Ptolemy proposed a model, he reference system is centered on the Earth
Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system
Explanation:
Thousands of years ago, Ptolemy proposed a model to explain the movement of the planets and stars in the sky, in this model the reference system is centered on the Earth, so each body is orbiting in different spheres around the Earth as its center, this system had very complicated calculations and curves to be able to explain the orbits of the planets.
More recently Copernicus, proposed a deferent system, this system is centered on the Sun, where it is at the origin of the system, in this system the movement of the planets are ellipses, which is a much simpler explanation and has been widely accepted, in current systems the reference system is fixed in the bodies more massive, since this simplifies the explanation of the movements.
