Answer:

Final momentum after a head on collision is -2kgm/s

Explanation:

         One ball moves to the right and the other moves opposite  and momentum is a vector quantity so that considering the direction

Initial momenta are        P₁=2x3=6kgm/s        P₂=4x(-2)=-8kgm/s      

Final momentum is the vector sum of P(final)= 6-8= -2 kgm/s

Propose a hypothesis for how the position of the ball will affect the amount of its gravitational pull energy
Ray Of Light [21]

<em><u>throwing a ball up initially has a lot of kinetic energy because it is moving upwards ( kinetic energy is energy which a body possesses by virtue of being in motion.) this all then get converted to gravitational potential energy, and for a moment it is stationary before it begins to fall again.  by the time it has returned again, all the gravitational potential energy has turned back into kinetic.</u></em>

A physics major is cooking breakfast when he notices that the frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel fry
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

N  = 6.67 N

Explanation:

The frictional or frictional force is a force that arises from the contact of two bodies and opposes movement.

The friction is due to imperfections and roughness, mainly microscopic, that exist on the surfaces of the bodies. Upon contact, these roughnesses engage with each other making movement difficult. To minimize the effect of friction, either the surfaces are polished or lubricated, since the oil fills the imperfections, preventing them from snagging.

As the frictional force depends on the materials and the force exerted on one another, its magnitude is obtained by the following expression:

f = μ*N    Formula (1)

where:  

f is the friction force  (N)

μ is the coefficient of friction

N is the normal force (N)

Data

f = 0.2 N : frictional force between the steel spatula and the Oiled Steel frying pan

μ = 0.03 :coefficient of kinetic friction between the two materials

Calculating of normal force

We replace data in the formula (1)

f = μ*N  

0.2  = 0.03*N  

N  = 0.2 / 0.03

N  = 6.67 N

The motion of a car on a position time graph is represented with a horizontal tine What does this indicate about the car's motio
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

Position-Time graphs display the motion of a object by showing the changes of velocity with respect to time.

The motion of a car on a position-time graph that is represented with a horizontal line indicates that the car has stopped moving.

A straight line with a positive slope indicates that the car is moving at a constant velocity, and thus the slope is constant. On the other hand, a curve with a changing slope, shows that the velocity is changing.
