An increase in which quantity will result in an increase in momentum?

Momentum = (mass) x (velocity)

(Remember that momentum is a vector ... it has a direction.
Its direction is the same as the velocity.)

An increase in either mass or velocity will increase the momentum.

It's pretty hard to increase the mass of a moving object, so I think
the better answer is <u>velocity</u> .

Two balls of equal size are dropped from the same height from the roof of a building. One ball has twice the mass of the other.
frutty [35]

Answer:

The kinetic energy of the more massive ball is greater by a factor of 2.

Explanation:

By conservation of energy, we know that the initial energy = final energy. At first, the balls are dropped from a height with no initial velocity so their initial energy is all potential energy. When they reach the bottom, all their energy is kinetic energy. So all of their energy is changed from potential to kinetic energy. This means that the ball with greater potential energy will have a greater kinetic energy.

Potential energy = mgh. Since g = gravity is a constant and h = height is the same, the only difference is mass. Since mass is directly proportional to potential energy, the greater the mass, the greater the potential energy, so the more massive ball has a greater initial potential energy and will have a greater kinetic energy at the bottom.

Additionally, let B1 = lighter ball with mass m and let B2 = heavier ball with mass m2. Since we know that intial potential energy = final kinetic energy. We can rewrite it as potential energy = kinetic energy = mass * gravity constant * height. For B1, it is mgh and for B2 it is 2mgh, so B2's kinetic energy is twice that of B1.

Lonnie pitches a baseball of mass 0.20 kg. The ball arrives at home plate with a speed of 40 m/s and is batted straight back to
suter [353]

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
