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 is linear speed called when something moves in a circle
Dmitry [639]

Answer: Tangential Velocity

The tangential velocity V is defined as the angular velocity \omega by the radius r of circular motion. As shown below:

V=\omega. r

Its name is due to the fact that this linear velocity vector is always tangent to the trajectory and is the distance traveled by a body or object in a circular movement in a period of time.

A stone is thrown vertically upward with a speed of 18.0 . (a)How fast is it moving when it reaches a height of 11.0 ? (b)How lo
aliina [53]
For the first part, we are looking for Vf when dy=11.0
Upward is positive, downward is negative. 
So <span>Vf = square root [2(-9.8)(11.0) + (18.0)^2] </span>
<span>Vf = 10.4 m/s your answer is correct. 

For the part b, t is equals to the time took to reach and dy is equals to 11.0
you did, </span>11= 18t m/s-(1/2) 9.8t^2 then <span>-11 + 18t- 9.8t^2. By quadratic formula, for the way down the answer is 2.9 s while on it's way up, the answer is 0.77 s</span><span>
