The law of conservation of momentum tells us that momentum
is conserved, therefore total initial momentum should be equal to total final
momentum. In this case, we can expressed this mathematically as:
mA vA + mB vB = m v
where, m is the mass in kg, v is the velocity in m/s
since m is the total mass, m = mA + mB, we can write the
equation as:
mA vA + mB vB = (mA + mB) v
furthermore, car B was at a stop signal therefore vB = 0,
hence
mA vA + 0 = (mA + mB) v
1800 (vA) = (1800 + 1500) (7.1 m/s)
<span>vA = 13.02 m/s</span>
deceleration or rėtardation i’m pretty sure (it won’t let me say the second word but it’s correct)
Answer:
B) 20N.s is the correct answer
Explanation:
The formula for the impulse is given as:
Impulse = change in momentum
Impulse = mass × change in speed
Impulse = m × ΔV
Given:
initial speed = 40m/s
Final speed = -60 m/s (Since the the ball will now move in the opposite direction after hitting the bat, the speed is negative)
mass = 0.20 kg
Thus, we have
Impulse = 0.20 × (40m/s - (-60)m/s)
Impulse = 0.20 × 100 = 20 kg-m/s or 20 N.s
