When you take a balloon and rub it against your head. as soon as the balloon makes contact with something that allows electricity, the balloon makes friction and makes your hair stand up

Maybe push or pull an object with a large amount of mass? you are force a (pushing through object) aka making contact. i hope i helped not good with physics :)

A 20 kg mass is moving at 10 m/s and collides with a stationary 5 kg mass, transferring all its momentum in the collision, what

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

v = 40 [m/s].

Explanation:

Linear momentum is defined as the product of mass by Velocity. In this way, by means of the following equation, we can calculate the momentum.

$P=m*v\\$

where:

m = mass [kg]

v = velocity [m/s]

$P =20*10\\P =200 [kg*m/s]$

Since all momentum is transferred, we can say that this momentum is equal for the mass of 5 [kg]. In this way, we can determine the speed after the impact.

$v = P/m\\v = 200/5\\v = 40 [m/s]$
