Answer:
Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s
Explanation:
One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction
Initial momenta are P₁=2x3=6kgm/s P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s
Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s
Answer: momentum = 6kgm/s
Explanation:
given that the baseball pitcher is at stationary position, his velocity will be equal to zero. If velocity is zero, his linear momentum will therefore equal to zero.
Linear momentum is the product of mass and velocity. Given that the baseball has
Mass M = 0.15 kg
Velocity V = 40 m/s
Momentum = MV
Momentum = 0.15 × 40 = 6 kgm/s
