If the law of conversation of momentum is true,then how does the total momentum before a collision compare to the total momentum

after a collision?

<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.

maria [59]

Answer:

Vf = 41.6 [m/s]

Explanation:

To solve this problem we must use the equations of kinematics.

Vf² = Vo² + (2*g*y)

where:

Vf =  final velocity [m/s]

Vo = initial velocity = 0

g = gravity acceleration = 9.81 [m/s²]

y = height = 88.2 [m]

Note: The positive sign of the equation tells us that the acceleration of gravity goes in the direction of motion.

Vf² = Vo² + (2*g*y)

Vf² = 0 + (2*9.81*88.2)

Vf = (1730.48)^0.5

Vf = 41.6 [m/s]

A ball is launched straight up with initial speed of 30.0 m/s. What is the ball's velocity when it comes back to its original po
Zanzabum

Answer:

We could get the time taken by the ball to return back to earth, using the formula:

s = u t + ½ a t², where

s = displacement of the body moving with initial velocity u, acceleration 'a' in time t.

In the present case s=0 (as the ball returns back to starting time)

u= 30 m/s; a = -10 m/s² ( negative sign as a is in opposite direction to u); t=?

0 = 30 t - ½ ×10 ×t²; ==> 5 t = 30, t= 6 second.

So ball will return back after 6 second after being thrown up.

A gun is fired vertically into a 1.40 kg block of wood at rest directly above it. If the bullet has a mass of 21.0 g and a speed
ahrayia [7]

To solve this problem we will use the theorems related to the conservation of momentum to determine the final speed of the system, once the bullet hits it. From there, we will calculate with the kinematic equations of linear motion, the height traveled with that speed. The conservation of momentum say us that,

m_1u_1+m_2u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v_f

Where,

m_1 = mass of bullet

m_2 = mass of block of wood

u_{1,2} = Initital velocity of bullet and block of wood respectively.

v_f = Final velocity

Our values are given as,

m_1 = 1.40 Kg\\m_2 = 0.021 Kg\\u = 210 m/s

Replacing we have that

(1.40 + 0.021) * v_f = 0.021 * 210

v_f = 3.103 m/s

Note that the initial velocity of wood block is 0 because is at rest

Now using the kinematic equation of motion we have that

v_f^2-v_i^2 = 2gh

As v_i = 0

h = \frac{v_f^2}{2g}

h = \frac{3.103^2}{2 * 9.8}

h = 0.49 m

Therefore the height reached by block after bullet embedding in it is 0.49 m
