How is momentum conserved is a Newton's cradle when one steel ball hits the other

Physics

Vikentia [17]2 years ago

Answer:

Newton's Cradle experiment perfectly demonstrates the law of conservation of momentum which states that in a closed system, momentum before the collision is equal to momentum after the collision of the system.

As the first ball swings in the air, it gains momentum. When it strikes the second ball, it loses momentum and second ball gains equal amount of momentum. The second ball transfers the momentum to third, then fourth and till the last. The last ball when gains the same momentum swings up in the air. This continues. This experiment is done in drag free condition. This means there is no loss of momentum or opposing forces present.

Net force is the sum of all forces acting on an object. For example, in a tug of war, when one team is pulling the rope with a f
melisa1 [442]

Answer:

If there are equal forces in both directions and there is no motion, the net force is 0 Newtons. This is because you'd be subtracting 100 from 100 which just equals 0.

Drawing a shows a displacement vector (450.0 m along the y axis). In this x, y coordinate system the scalar components are Ax 0
Alisiya [41]

Answer:

x ’= 368.61 m,  y ’= 258.11 m

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must find the projections of the point on the new vectors of the rotated system  θ = 35º

            x’= R cos 35

            y’= R sin 35

           

The modulus vector can be found using the Pythagorean theorem

            R² = x² + y²

            R = 450 m

we calculate

            x ’= 450 cos 35

            x ’= 368.61 m

            y ’= 450 sin 35

            y ’= 258.11 m
