natulia [17]
The motivation behind why the vertical stature of the stairs is the main thing measured is that it uncovers to us how much gravity is up against the individual and their weight, so we require this data to decide how much vitality and power we have to get up the stairs.

Sphinxa [80]

Explanation:

you measure temperature in degrees celsius using a thermometer. Thermal energy is measured in joules. A larger volume of water will take longer to heat up but will store more energy than the smaller object. However, a smaller object will lose it's heat faster than a larger object. A cup of tea has less thermal energy than a swimming pool.

A 4kg ball moving at 8m\sec
Llana [10]
Conservation of momentum: total momentum before = total momentum after

Momentum = mass x velocity

So before the collision:
4kg x 8m/s = 32
1kg x 0m/s = 0
32+0=32

Therefore after the collision
4kg x 4.8m/s = 19.2
1kg x βm/s = β
19.2 + β = 32

Therefore β = 12.8 m/s
