<h2>Answer:The total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.</h2>

Explanation:

Conservation of momentum states that whenever no external force is acting on a system,the total momentum is constant.

When we consider collisions,take the system as the two bodies that are colliding.

There are no external forces acting on the system.The forces that one body exerts on other come under internal forces.

So,momentum can be conserved in this case.

So,the total momentum before collision is equal to the total momentum after collision.

At t = 0, object A is dropped from the roof of a building. At the same instant, object B is dropped from a window 10 m below the
dsp73

Answer:

Explanation:

Given two objects are dropped simultaneously

Object A is 10 m higher than object B therefore

Distance covered by object A is given by

y_a(t) is given by

y=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

where y=displacement

u=initial velocity

a=acceleration

t=time

y_a(t)=0+0.5gt^2--1

for object B

y_b(t)=0+0.5gt^2--2

Subtract 1 and 2 we get

y_a(t)-y_b(t)=0

i.e. they will travel equal distance in equal time and distance between them remain 10 m until object B hits the ground

A positive charge Q is placed at the origin. Four other positive charges are placed on a circle in the x-y plane centered on Q a
Shkiper50 [21]
1. <span>FX = 0 since the bottom charges are symmetrical about the y axis and the top charge is aligned with the y-axis
3. </span><span>FY > 0 since the bottom charges do not equate the top charge. The bottom charges have horizontal components which is less than q and adding them all, will not result to 3q.</span>

Which of the following changes would decrease the coefficient of friction needed for this ride?
posledela
Friction occurs between two contacting surfaces. The coefficient of friction is very much dependent on the roughness of these surfaces. Some of the many ways in which the coefficient can be lessened or decreased are to lubricate the surface or make it shiny by eliminating the spikes which caused the roughness.

Explain in terms of impulse how padding reduces forces in a collision. State this in terms of a real example, such as the advant
Lena [83]

Answer:

Impulse = Average force x time of contact

Explanation:

Impulsive force is a force which is very large but applied on a body for a very small duration of time.

Impulse is given by the change in momentum of the body.

Impulse = Average force x small time interval

When padding is there, the time interval of contact is large and thus, the force exerted by the body is small.

So, when a person falls on the tile floor, there is no compression and thus, the time of contact is very small and thus the impulsive force is very large, due to  which the body may damage.

So, when a person falls on the carpeted floor, there is a compression and thus, the time of contact is comparatively large and thus the impulsive force is small, due to  which the body may safe.
