<u>The following statements are false about collisions: </u>

  • The velocity change of two respective objects involved in a collision will always be equal.
  • Total momentum is always conserved between any two objects involved in a collision.

Answer: Option B, and D

<u>Explanation: </u>

In any collisions, equal amount of net force will be acted upon the colliding objects due to the third law of Newton, irrespective of the significance difference in mass of the objects. Similarly, they can also have different acceleration values during collision of two objects if the masses are identical.

But the statements regarding the equal change in velocity of two objects respectively involved in collision always is false, as the conservation of momentum is applicable for isolated system only. So it is true for only isolated system and not in all the systems.

The same reason goes for falsifying the fourth statement which states that total momentum is always conserved between two objects involved in a collision as this statement is only true for isolated system where the conservation of momentum can be applied. Thus the second and fourth statement is false regarding collision.

What effect does the Sun have on the ocean tides?
Degger [83]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

When the sun, moon, and Earth are in alignment at the time of the new or full moon, the solar tide has an additive effect on the lunar tide, creating extra-high high tides, and very low, low tides both commonly called spring tides.

At the start of a hockey game, the referee drops the puck between two players from opposing teams. Each player wants to push the
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

a) puck is subjected to both the forces of the hockey sticks in a horizontal direction,

b)the puck does not move since the sum of the forces is zero

c) changing the magnitude or direction of its applied force

Explanation:

a) The puck is subjected to both the forces of the hockey sticks in a horizontal direction, these forces are of equal magnitude and opposite direction since the puck is at rest.

In the direction of the y-axis (perpendicular to the ice) you have the weight of the disk and the normal to this weight that are also in equilibrium.

b) the puck does not move since the sum of the forces is zero, which implies that the forces of the hockey sticks are of equal magnitude and opposite direction.

c) the player has several ways to make the puck move

* slightly changing the angle of the club and therefore the direction of the force, in this case the disc comes out in the direction of this component

* inclined the stick slightly so that the force has a vertical component and the puck jumps in this direction

* Increasing the magnitude of the force so that the puck comes out in the opposite direction to the player

* The worst case, decreasing its force to zero and the disk comes out in its direction by the other force that had the same magnitude.
