A steel ball and a piece of clay have equal mass. They are dropped from the same height on a horizontal steel platform. The ball

bounces back with nearly the same speed with which it hit. The clay sticks to the platform. Which object experiences the greater momentum change? (A) the ball (B) the clay change(C) Both experience the same momentum (D) there is no momentum change for either (E) more information is required

Answer: The ball (option A)

Explanation: change in momentum is defined by the formulae m(v - u) where m = mass of object, v = final velocity and u = initial velocity.

For the ball, it hits the ground and bounces back with the same speed, that's final velocity equals initials (v = - u)

Change in momentum = m( -u- u) = m(-2u) = m(-2u) = -2mu

For the clay, it final velocity is zero since it sticks to the floor, hence (v =0)

m(v - u) = m(0 - u) = - mu.

-2mu (change in momentum from the ball) is greater than - mu ( change in momentum of clay)

Three force vectors are added together. One has a magnitude of 9 N, the second one a magnitude of 18 N, and the third a magnitud
fgiga [73]

Answer:

true I, II and III

Explanation:

The force is a vector quantity, by local it must be added as vectors, we can suppose several cases

.i) the vectors are colonial, so their sum is maximum

       F_max = 9 + 15 + 18

       F_max = 42 N

This is the maximum value

ii) the anti-parallel vectors giving a minimum value

     F_min = 15 + 9-18

     F_min = 6 N

iii) the vectors have angles between them, so we must use the Pythagorean theorem to find the resultant, which is an intermediate value between the two extreme values ​​found.

Let's take a look at each statement

I) True This is the maximum value of the force if all the vectors are colonial

II) True The minimum value is 6 N, so zero can never be reached

III) True these bores are between the maximum values ​​and the direction of the vectors, lower values ​​occur when the forces have angular between them

IV) False. Force can never reach zero

V) False. Several of the above are conclusions of the exercise
