When you drop an object on the moon, it falls to the ground.
But it only falls about 1/6 as fast as it falls on Earth.

Kids are pelting a window with snowballs. On average, two snowballs of roughly 300-g mass hit the window each second, moving hor

hram777 [196]

Answer:

The average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of snowballs $m = 300 \times 10^{-3}$ Kg

Velocity of snowball $v = 10 \frac{m}{s}$

For finding the average force,

Force is equal to the change in momentum,

$F = \frac{dP}{dt}$

Here, final velocity is zero so we write,

$F = \frac{mv}{1}$

Where $dt = 1$ sec

$F = 300 \times 10^{-30} \times 10$

$F = 3$ N

Above value of force is due to one ball, but here given in question there are two ball,

$F = 3 \times 2$

$F = 6$ N

Therefore, the average force exerted on the window due to two snowballs is 6 N

Why a small car can stop easier than an 18 wheeler while traveling at 70 mph down the interstate?

almond37 [142]

Smaller cars have less momentum than bigger cars. What’s in motion stays in motion but objects with more momentum (can be from weight or from speed but in this case it’s about weight) tend to stay in motion longer.
