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)

What happens to the open circuit if a small fan is connected at point f and the circuit is closed
liraira [26]
There's no way to tell.  Without seeing a diagram of the circuit,
I'll need to know much more about it than you've told me.
I don't know anything about the components or power supply
that are in the circuit, and I don't know where point ' f ' is in it.

Right now, even with the copious volume of all the available
information, no answer to your question is possible.

You are given a vector in the xy plane that has a magnitude of 84.0 units and a y-component of -67.0 units.
melomori [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

a)Magnitude = \sqrt{(x1-y2)^{2}  + (x1-x2)^{2} }

84=\sqrt{(0- (-67))^{2}  + (x-0)^{2} }

x= +50.67 or -50.67 units

b) We are given that the resultant is entirely in the -ve x direction which means that the y-component of the resultant is 0; It means that the y-component of the next vector = -ve of the y component of the initial vector i.e 67.

To make the magnitude 80 units in the negative x direction where the y component is 0, the x component must be -130.67(-50.67 - 80) as the x component is + 50.67units.

Magnitude = \sqrt{(0- (67))^{2}  + (-130.67)^{2} } = 146.85 units

c) The direction vector = 67/146.85 i  - 130.67/146.85 j where i corresponds to the vector in y direction and j corresponds to the vector in x direction. Or this vector is at an angle of 180 - Tan^{-1}(67/130.67)degrees i.e 152.85 degrees from the +ve x-axis.

Describe what happens to the particles of a liquid, in terms of movement and kinetic energy, as it is cooled to its freezing poi
nataly862011 [7]
As a system is cooled to its freezing point, the kinetic energy of the particles in the system will lower so the movement are much slower. Cooling means taking out heat from the system. This process is a physical change because it is only the phase of the system is changed and it is still the substance after the process.

When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball ____________.
yan [13]

Answer:

B) changing position

Explanation:

When a ball bounces to the ground it hits the ground with some energy. The amount of energy with which it hits the ground is kinetic energy. When it comes in the contact with the ground kinetic energy gets converted into potential energy. This potential energy again gets converted into kinetic energy and balls moves again from the ground and bounces multiple times. So, due to multiple bounce the position of the ball changes.

Thus, When bouncing a ball, the bouncing motion results in the ball changing position.
