We know the formulas for momentum and energy. But they both involve the mass of
the object, and we don't know the mass of the baseball.  What can we do ?

It's not a catastrophe.  The question only asks which one is bigger.  If we're clever,
we can answer that without ever knowing how much the momentum or the energy
actually is.  We know that both baseballs have the same mass, so let's just call it
' M ' and not worry about what it really is.

<u>Momentum of anything = (mass) x (speed)</u>
Momentum of the first baseball = (M) x (4 m/s) = 4M
Momentum of the second one = (M) x (16 m/s) = 16M
The second baseball has 4 times as much momentum as the first one has.

<u>Kinetic energy of anything = 1/2 (mass) x (speed squared)</u>
KE of the first baseball = 1/2 (M) x (4 squared) = 8M
KE of the second one = 1/2 (M) x (16 squared) = 128M
The second baseball has 16 times as much kinetic energy as the first one has.

A car moving at 30 m/s slows uniformly to a speed of 10 m/s in a time of 5 s. Determine 1. The acceleration of the car. 2. The d
ValentinkaMS [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial velocity , u = 30 m/s

final velocity , v = 10 m/s

time , t = 5 seconds

1. Acceleration = v - u / t

= 10 - 30 / 5

= -20 / 5

= <u><em>- 4 m/s</em></u>

Help with this I can’t come up with anything
TEA [102]

Answer:

His third law states that for every action (force) in nature there is an equal and opposite reaction. In other words, if object A exerts a force on object B, then object B also exerts an equal and opposite force on object A. ... In reaction, a thrusting force is produced in the opposite direction.
