Newton's first law states that every object will remain at rest or in uniform motion in a straight line unless compelled to change its state by the action of an external force.
Jerome solves a problem using the law of conservation of momentum. What should Jerome always keep constant for each object after the objects collide and bounce apart?
a-velocity
b-mass
c-momentum
d-direction
Answer:
b. Mass
Explanation:
This question has to do with the principle of the law of conservation of momentum which states that the momentum of a system remains constant if no external force is acting on it.
As the question states, two objects collide with each other and eventually bounce apart, so their momentum may not be conserved but the mass of the objects is constant for each non-relativistic motion. Because of this, the mass of each object prior to the collision would be the same as the mass after the collision.
Therefore, the correct answer is B. Mass.
I believe that B is the answer.
Answer:
Temperature or thermal energy.
Explanation:
Conduction involves the transfer of electric charge or thermal energy due to the movement of particles. When the conduction relates to electric charge, it is known as electrical conduction while when it relates to thermal energy, it is known as heat conduction.
In the process of heat conduction, thermal energy is usually transferred from fast moving particles to slow moving particles during the collision of these particles. Also, thermal energy is typically transferred between objects that has different degrees of temperature and materials (particles) that are directly in contact with each other but differ in their ability to accept or give up electrons.
Hence, the temperature or thermal energy of matter depends on how much the particles are moving, which depends on the amount of kinetic energy the particles possess.
Newton's 3rd law: The ball exerts a force on the bat that is equal and opposite to the force exerted by the bat on the ball.
