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.

Two objects attract each other gravitationally. If the distance between their centers decreases by a factor of 2, how does the g
kramer

Answer:

The gravitational force between them increases by a factor of 4

Explanation:

Gravitational force is a force of attraction between two objects with masses M and m which are separated by a distance R. It is given mathematically as:

Fg = GMm/R²

Where G = Gravitational constant.

If the distance between their centers, R, decreases by a factor of 2, then it means the new distance between their centers is:

r = R/2

Hence,the gravitational force becomes:

Fg = GMm/r²

Fg = GMm/(R/2)²

Fg = GMm/(R²/4)

Fg = 4GMm/R²

Hence,the gravitational force increases by a factor of 4.

If an element's atomic mass and atomic number are known, what else can be determined? Give an example to demonstrate your unders
Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

If an elements atomic mass and number are known you can also determine the number of protons and neutrons it has. You can also determine where it is on the periodic table. For example, if a element had a atomic mass of 10 then it would be higher up on the table then one with a mass of 20. Btw I do apex too.

Two parallel plates are 1 cm apart and are connected to a 500 V source. What force will be exerted on a single electron half way
VladimirAG [237]

Answer: 8*10^-15 N

Explanation: In order to calculate the force applied on an electron in the middle of the two planes at 500 V we know that,  F=q*E

The electric field between  the plates is given by:

E = ΔV/d = 500 V/0.01 m=5*10^3 N/C

the force applied to the electron is: F=e*E=8*10^-15 N

A uniform electric field of magnitude 7.0 ✕ 104 N/C passes through the plane of a square sheet with sides 5.0 m long. Calculate
Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

1.52*10^6 Nm^2/C

Explanation:

Given that:

Electrical field E = 7.0 * 10^{-4}N/C

square side l = 5.0 m

Area A = 5.0 * 5.0

= 25.0 m²

Angle ( θ ) between area vector and E = (90° - 60°)

= 30°

The flux \phi_E can now be determined by using the expression

\phi_E = E*A*Cos \theta

\phi_E = 7.0 * 10^{-4}N/C *25.0m*Cos 30^0

\phi_E = 1515544.457 Nm^2/C

\phi_E = 1.52*10^6 Nm^2/C
