The momentum of both the identical balls would eventually be transferred to one another when it comes to a point wherein they will collide. In addition, the phenomenon is called an elastic collision wherein both the momentum and energy of the system would considered to be conserved.
Longitudinal waves transfer energy parallel to the direction of the wave motion
The car at 60 kph has 9 times more kinetic energy than the car traveling at 20 kph. This assumes that both cars have the same mass. Kinetic energy depends on the square of thee speed so if one car is going 3 times faster, its kinetic energy will be 3^2 ( = 9 ) greater. The car going at 60 kph will have 4 times the KE of the car going at 30 kph ( again assuming that the cars have the same mass.)
Answer:
Al's mass is 102.92 kg
Explanation:
As there are no external forces in the horizontal direction, the horizontal net force must be zero:
As the force is the derivative in time of the momentum, this means that the horizontal momentum is constant:
where the suffix i and f means initial and final respectively.
The initial momentum will be:
But, as they are at rest, initially
So, this means:
We know that the have an combined mass of 195 kg:
.
so:
.
Now, we can use the values:
where the minus sign appears as they are moving at opposite directions
and this is the Al's mass.
