Hello!
This is an example of an inelastic collision, where the two objects "stick" to each other after their collision. (The Goalkeeper CATCHES the puck).
We can write out the conservation of momentum formula:
m1vi + m2vi = m1vf + m2vf
Let:
m1 = mass of puck
m2 = mass of the goalkeeper
We know that the initial velocity of the goalkeeper is 0, so:
m1vi + m2(0) = m1vf + m2vf
m1vi = m1vf + m2vf
The final velocities will be the same, so:
m1vi = (m1 + m2)vf
Plug in the given values:
(0.16)(40)/ (0.16 + 120) = vf ≈ 0.0533 m/s
Using the equation for momentum:
p = mv
The object with the LARGER mass will have the greater momentum. Thus, the Goalkeeper has the largest momentum as p = mv; a greater mass correlates to a greater momentum since the velocity is the same between the two objects. The puck would have a momentum of p = (.16)(0.0533) = 0.008528 kgm/s, whereas the goalkeeper would have a momentum of
p = (120)(0.0533) = 6.396 kgm/s.
Answer:
The total distance the bird travels is d.
Explanation:
Each train travels at the speed s. They will meet at the center, a distance d/2 (which is where the bird might be crushed). Each train travels the same distance d/2 in a time t which is also equal for both. This is also the time the bird spends travelling between them.
For any of the train, the time t is the distance divided by the speed.
The bird travels at the speed of 2s. Its distance is given by the product of its speed and the time taken.
i do but is it a group project
Answer:
The atom consists of a tiny nucleus surrounded by moving electrons. The nucleus contains protons, which have a positive charge equal in magnitude to the electron's negative charge. The nucleus may also contain neutrons, which have virtually the same mass but no charge.
