Neglecting friction and air resistance, the first hill must be built 4 times higher than it is now.

Two objects have the same momentum. Do the velocities of these objects necessarily have (a) the same directions and (b) the same

NeX [460]

Answer:

(a) They must have same direction

(b) It is not necessary for them to have same magnitudes

Explanation:

(a)

Momentum is a vector quantity. It is the product of mass (scalar) and velocity (vector). Thus, if the direction of velocity is changed, then as a result the direction of momentum will also change or its magnitude or component in the same direction will change. Hence, for the two objects to have same momentum, the directions of their velocities must also be the same.

(b)

Since, the momentum is product of velocity and mass. It is possible that two bodies of different masses with different velocities might have same momentum, provided the direction of their velocities is same.

For example, take a body of mass 4 kg moving with speed 5 m/s. It will have a momentum of 20 N.s. Now, consider another body of mass 2 kg, moving with speed 10 m/s. It will also have a momentum of 20 N.s.

Thus, it is not necessary for two objects to have same magnitude of velocity to have same momentum.

Curtis, a student in our class, makes the following statement: The puck reached a slightly higher location on the ramp than I pr

Sindrei [870]

Answer and Explanation: No, the explanation is not plausible. The puck sliding on the ice is an example of the Principle of Conservation of Energy, which can be enunciated as "total energy of a system is constant. It can be changed or transferred but the total is always the same".

When a player hit the pluck, it starts to move, gaining kinetic energy (K). As it goes up a ramp, kinetic energy decreases and potential energy (P) increases until it reaches its maximum. When potential energy is maximum, kinetic energy is zero and vice-versa.

So, at the beginning of the movement the puck only has kinetic energy. At the end, it gains potential energy until its maximum.

The representation is as followed:

$K_{i}+P_{i}=K_{f}+P_{f}$
