Answer:

1. P⃗ A,i+P⃗ B,i=P⃗ A,f+P⃗ B,f

Explanation:

Collision occurs when two bodies moving at different velocities exert force on each other through colliding. Collision can either be elastic or inelastic.

For elastic collision, both energy and momentum of the bodies is conserved i.e they separates after collision.

For inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved but not energy. The body sticks together after colliding and moves with a common velocity.

According law of conservation of momentum which states that the sum or momentum of two bodies before collision is equal to the momentum of the bodies after collision.

Given two bumper cars A and B that undergoes collision during which momentum is conserved, the type of collision that exists between the bumpers is inelastic collision

If initial momentum of A is PiA and initial momentum of B is PiB, the sum of their momentum before collision is expressed as;

PiA + PiB ... (1)

If final momentum of A is PfA and initial momentum of B is PfB, the sum of their momentum after collision is expressed as;

PfA+PfB ... (2)

According to the law, equation 1 is equal to equation 2

The fore the formula that states the law is expressed as;

PiA + PiB = PfA+PfB

Newton’s third law in football?

trapecia [35]

Newtons third law of motion applies to football as when the ball is thrown, force is applied to the football thrown forward and also force back to the player. Therefore it states that every action has a reaction. The player does not get a huge force back from throwing the football due to the player having a bigger mass than the football being thrown.

In short, when the football is throw, there is a reaction with the ball and the player accordingly with the force put into the ball.

Density is calculated by dividing

Yanka [14]

Density is defines as the ratio of mass to volume.

So you measure the mass and volume of a sample, and
divide the mass by the volume, to find the density.

Q.1- Find the distance travelled by a particle moving in a straight line with uniform acceleration, in the 10th unit of time.

Korolek [52]

Answer:

If the acceleration is constant, the movements equations are:

a(t) = A.

for the velocity we can integrate over time:

v(t) = A*t + v0

where v0 is a constant of integration (the initial velocity), for the distance traveled between t = 0 units and t = 10 units, we can solve the integral:

$\int\limits^{10}_0 {A*t + v0} \, dt = ((A/2)10^2 + v0*10) = (A*50 + v0*10)$
