I think we will use the law of conservation of linear momentum;
M1V1 = M2V2
M1 = 4 kg (mass of the water balloon launcher)
V1=?
M2= 0.5 kg ( mass of the balloon)
V2 = 3 m/s
Therefore; 4 V1 = 0.5 × 3
4V1= 1.5
V1= 1.5/4
= 0.375 m/s
Momentum would be the same before and after the collision
Before the collision:
Momentum of the single cart: 1 * 0.50 = 0.50
After the collision
velocity = 0.25m / s
1 * 0.25 + 1 * 0.25 =
0.25 * (1 + 1) =
0.25 * 2 =
0.50
Now new momentum will be 0.5
answer
the same before and after the collision
Shadows are the absence of light, they are created when an object blocks light. In other words, shadows are the product of light particles, known as photons. These particles “bounce off” of the object without reaching the other side. Therefore light by itself will not form a shadow.
