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

Physics
1 answer:
Vikentia [17]3 years ago
4 0

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.

The resolution of a camera or other optical system is determined by the relationship between what two scales?
devlian [24]

Answer:

d.The wavelength of light and the size of the aperture

Explanation:

<em>The resolution power of an optical system is the smallest distance between two points that the device can distinguish clearly.</em>

It has the following relationship:

r=\frac{\lambda}{2n}

where:

r = minimum resolvable distance

n = numerical aperture

\lambda= wavelength of the light used for viewing

From above mathematical equation it is clear that:

  • Smaller the wavelength better the resolving power
  • Larger the aperture better the resolution

(Note, that smaller the value of "r" the more finer details of the image visible through the device.)

Where does diffusion occur in the excretory system
k0ka [10]

Answer:

Diffusion of water, salts, and waste products occurs in the kidneys. Diffusion of calcium from food into cells occurs in the intestines. Molecules are not the only things that can diffuse. Heat from the body diffuses away in the form of sweat that evaporates.

Discuss the chemical bond exist in silicon crystal?​
tamaranim1 [39]
Covalent bonds. Silicon, carbon, germanium, and a few other elements form covalently bonded solids. In these elements there are four electrons in the outer sp-shell, which is half filled. ... In the covalent bond an atom shares one valence (outer-shell) electron with each of its four nearest neighbour atoms.

A woman launches a boat from one shore of a straight river and wants to land at the point directly on the opposite shore. If the
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

If she stands on the North side of a river flowing to the East at 5 mph,

she must head towards the SouthWest to arrive on the South side of the river directly across from her starting point and we have

x^2 + 5^2 = 10^2 where x is her speed directly across the river

x = (75)^1/2 = 8.66 mph towards the South

sin theta = 5 / 10 = 1/2

She must angle the boat at 30 deg from straight South

Many planets in our solar system (Saturn, Uranus, Neptune) have rings. If these rings are made of chunks of debris, why do they
Liono4ka [1.6K]
Generally, rings form from moons, asteroids, or comets that have disintegrated due to a collision or because they got too close to their planet (Roche Limit). ... Most of the debris, however, will not have enough energy to overcome the planet's gravity and will remain in orbit around the planet.
