IF there is no air resistance, then he could drop a feather, a piece
of Kleenex, a school bus, and a battleship.  If he dropped them all
at the same time from the same height, they would all hit the ground
at the same time.

Assuming there is no air resistance and the experiment took pace in a controlled environment, both the lead ball and the glass ball would hit the ground at the same time.

Two balls are thrown against a wall. Ball 1 has a much higher speed than ball 2.
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Let both the balls have the same mass equals to m.

Let v_1 and v_2 be the speed of the ball1 and the ball2 respectively, such that

v_1>v_2\;\cdots(i)

Assuming that both the balls are at the same level with respect to the ground, so let h be the height from the ground.

The total energy of ball1= Kinetic energy of ball1 + Potential energy of ball1. The Kinetic energy of any object moving with speed, v, is \frac 12 m v^2

and the potential energy is due to the change in height is mgh [where g is the acceleration due to gravity]

So, the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_1^2 + mgh\;\cdots(ii)

and the total energy of ball1,

=\frac 12 m v_2^2 + mgh\;\cdots(iii).

Here, the potential energy for both the balls are the same, but the kinetic energy of the ball1 is higher the ball2 as the ball1 have the higher speed, refer equation (i)

So, \frac 12 m v_1^2 >\frac 12 m v_2^2

Now, from equations (ii) and (iii)

The total energy of ball1 hi higher than the total energy of ball2.

The intensity of the Sun's light in the vicinity of the Earth is about 1000W/m^2. Imagine a spacecraft with a mirrored square sa
NeX [460]

Explanation:

Formula to represent thrust is as follows.

             F = \frac{dP}{dt}

                = \frac{2p}{dt}

or,           p = \frac{E}{c}

         \frac{p}{dt} = \frac{W}{c}

                  F = \frac{2IA}{c}

                     = \frac{2 (1000 W/m^{2})(5.5 \times 10^{3} m)^{2}}{3 \times 10^{8} m/s}

                     = 201.67 N

Thus, we can conclude that the thrust is 201.67 N.

billiardballsnew2 A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and
Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.
