Momentum is a vector quantity, and is always conserved. Whenever a collision occurs between two objects, the objects behave under the principle of conservation of momentum. Therefore, if an object moves in the direction opposite to its original direction after a collision, then this indicates that the momentum of the colliding object was greater than the object under consideration.
Answer:
h' = 603.08 m
Explanation:
First, we will calculate the initial velocity of the pellet on the surface of Earth by using third equation of motion:
2gh = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of earth = - 9.8 m/s² (negative sign due to upward motion)
h = height of pellet = 100 m
Vf = final velocity of pellet = 0 m/s (since, pellet will momentarily stop at highest point)
Vi = Initial Velocity of Pellet = ?
Therefore,
(2)(-9.8 m/s²)(100 m) = (0 m/s)² - Vi²
Vi = √(1960 m²/s²)
Vi = 44.27 m/s
Now, we use this equation at the surface of moon with same initial velocity:
2g'h' = Vf² - Vi²
where,
g' = acceleration due to gravity on the surface of moon = 1.625 m/s²
h' = maximum height gained by pellet on moon = ?
Therefore,
2(1.625 m/s²)h' = (44.27 m/s)² - (0 m/s)²
h' = (1960 m²/s²)/(3.25 m/s²)
<u>h' = 603.08 m</u>
Explanation:
Given:
v₀ = 22 m/s
v = 0 m/s
t = 17.32 s
Find: a
v = at + v₀
(0 m/s) = a (17.32 s) + (22 m/s)
a = -1.270 m/s²
Round as needed.
Answer:
20kg
Explanation:
Mass is a measure of the amount of matter in an object. The mass of an object, the amount of matter inside it does not change based on location. E.g. Objects do not lose matter when they travel to the moon.
Weight, on the other hand is the downward force you exert on the ground. Weight is calculated by multiplying the mass by the gravitational field strength and changes in different places with different gravitational strength. E.g. The moon's gravitational strength is 1/5 of Earth's so the mass of the object would stay the same but the weight would be only 20% of the weight is had on earth.
Hope this helped!
