Law of conservation of momentum states that when two objects collide with each other , the sum of their linear momentum always remains same or we can say conserved and is not effected by any action, reaction only in case is no external unbalanced force is applied on the bodies.
Let,
m
A
​
= Mass of ball A
m
B
​
= Mass of ball B
u
A
​
= initial velocity of ball A
u
B
​
= initial velocity of ball B
v
A
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball A
v
B
​
= Velocity after the collision of ball B
F
ab
​
= Force exerted by A on B
F
ba
​
= Force exerted by B on A
Now,
Change in the momentum of A= momentum of A after the collision - the momentum of A before the collision
= m

​
v

Rate of change of momentum A= Change in momentum of A/ time taken
=

Force exerted by B on A (F

​
=

In the same way,
Rate of change of momentum of B=
t
m
b
​
v
B
​
−m
B
​
u
B
​

​

Force exerted by A on B (F

)=

​
=
t
m
B
​
v
B
​
−m
B
​
u

​

​
.......... [ii]
Newton's third law of motion states that every action has an equal and opposite reaction, then,
F
a
​
b=−F
b
​
a [ ' -- ' sign is used to indicate that 1 object is moving in opposite direction after collision]

Using [i] and [ii] , we have
t

​
v

​
−m

​

Finally we get,

This is the derivation of conservation of linear momentum.

A physicist found that a force of 1.32 N was measured between two charged spheres. The distance between the spheres was 95 cm. C
labwork [276]

The electric force (and the gravitational force too) is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects involved.

In this question, the distance is increased by a factor of  (1.25/0.95) .

So the electric force will change by the factor of  (0.95/1.25)² .

The new force is

           (1.32 N) · (0.95/1.25)²  =  0.762... newton   (rounded)

A wooden artifact from a Chinese temple has a 14C activity of 41.0 counts per minute as compared with an activity of 58.2 counts
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

The relation between activity and number of radioactive atom in the sample is as follows

dN / dt = λ N where λ is disintegration constant and N is number of radioactive atoms

For the beginning period

dN₀ / dt = λ N₀

58.2 = λ N₀

similarly

41 = λ N

dividing

58.2 / 41 = N₀ / N

N = N₀ x .70446

formula of radioactive decay

N=N_0e^{-\lambda t }

.70446 =e^{-\lambda t }

- λ t = ln .70446 =   - .35

t = .35 / λ

λ = .693 / half life

= .693 / 5715

= .00012126

t = .35 / .00012126

= 2886.36

= 2900 years ( rounding it in two significant figures )

Explain how the density of a gas is different from the density of a liquid.
zavuch27 [327]

Answer

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states.

Explanation:

The same number of particles in a gas spread further apart than in the liquid or solid states. The same mass takes up a bigger volume. This means the gas is less dense. Density also depends on the material.

Does gravity hold things together?
mariarad [96]
  <span>Gravity is an attractive force. All masses exert gravity, so matter pull toward each other. However, it is only significant when the masses are large, like that of Earth.  Exactly what causes gravity still remains a mystery. Since all the other three fundamental forces (strong, weak, and electromagnetic) are caused by particles called bosons, some scientists think that gravity is caused by particles called the graviton. However, such a particle has not yet been observed, and its existence has not been proven yet. 
Also, gravity does not hold EVERYTHING together, as another person has already mentioned. Static electricity holds your socks together after they come out of the dryer, not gravity. Also, gravity is too weak to hold together, say, the nucleus of atoms, or even atoms of molecules together.</span>
