The middle one on the list is the correct one.
The first one ... distance divided by time ... is Speed, not force.
The third one ... mass times velocity ... is Momentum, not force.
Answer:
There will be a force of gravity and a normal force coming from the track itself.
Explanation:
Answer:
c. vf is greator than v2, but less than v1
Explanation:
The principle of conservation of linear momentum states that when two or more bodies act upon one another, their total momentum remains constant.
In a system of colliding bodies the total momentum of the system just before the collision is the same as the total momentum just after the collision.
Collisions in which the kinetic energy is conserved are called elastic collision.
Collisions in which the kinetic energy is not conserved are called inelastic collisions. If the two objects stick together after the collision and move with a common velocity, the collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.
<em>The above scenario is a perfectly inelastic collision. The initial velocity of particle 1 was greater than particle 2 before collision. After collision, its velocity will reduce to a final velocity vf as it transfers some of its kinetic energy to particle 2; whereas, the velocity of particle 2 will increase to a final velocity vf as it absorbs some of the kinetic energy of particle 1.</em>
Therefore,
a. vf = v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2
b. vf is less than v2 is wrong because vf is greater than v2
c. vf is greater than v2, but less than v1 is correct.
d. vf = v1 is wrong because vf is less than v1
The mass of an object always stays the same since it is really just the amount of matter in an object so no matter the force applied, as long as the object does not lose or gain matter, the object stays the same
