To win a prize at the county fair, you're trying to knock down a heavy bowling pin by hitting it with a thrown object. Should yo

Answer:

Being an elastic object, rubber ball will be an ideal choice as it will bounce off the bowling pit and will experience a large change in momentum in comparison with the beanbag which will either slow down or come to a halt upon hitting a bowling pit. That is why rubber ball will experience a greater impulse and the bowling pin will experience the negative impulse of the rubber ball.

For Rubber Ball

Upon elastic collision it will reverses the direction and move with velocity equal or less then original

change in momentum = P

P = m(v_{f} -v_{i})\\v_{f}=-v_{i} \\  P = -2mv_{i}

For Beanbag

value of impulse will large if velocity is zero.

v_{f}=0\\ P = -mv_{i}

Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

Force

If you're taking classical physics, simply stated, a force is a push or a pull of some sort. But there is one other very important thing to understand about Force. A true Force is always an interaction (at least from a classical perspective). That means that forces always come in pairs. This is stated in Newton's Third Law (equal and opposite forces). Every action must have a reaction. This is required for all true forces. Another consequence of this is that force is a vector, meaning it has a magnitude and a direction. The action and reaction will always be opposite in direction.

A lot of people will say F=ma. This is true. However, it is important to keep in mind that this definition is a calculational tool. It is more precise to say the Sum of all forces=ma. The point is that ma is not a force. Forces are things like weight, tension, normal, friction, gravity, electrostatic, magnetic, and various other applied forces. The sum of forces on an object equals the product of its mass times its acceleration.

It is important to keep in mind that the force is on the object that accelerates. Another way to state this is that objects cannot accelerate themselves. You cannot push yourself back (or forwards). But if you push a heavy object like a desk forwards, then the desk can push you back.

Energy

There are many kinds of energy. There are two important things to know.

Energy is the ability to do work. It doesn't mean work is being done, but that work can be done. (So you can see there is an intimate relationship between work and energy).

Energy is conserved. That means the total amount of energy is always constant. If the energy is a system changes somehow, that means some work was done in order to move the energy from one system to another.

Energy is also a scalar (given that Work is a scalar).

sukhopar [10]

Answer:

v=2.58\times10^8m/s

Explanation:

The index of refraction is equal to the speed of light c in vacuum divided by its speed v in a substance, or n=\frac{c}{v}. For our case we want to use v=\frac{c}{n}, which for our values is equal to:

v=\frac{c}{n}=\frac{299792458m/s}{1.16}=258441774.138m/s

Which we will express with 3 significant figures (since a product or quotient must contain the same number of significant figures as the measurement with the  <em>least</em> number of significant figures):

v=2.58\times10^8m/s
