3. Two balls are rolling toward each other. One has a momentum of 85kg*m/s, and the other has a momentum of -85kg*m/s. What will
1 answer:
Answer:
The total momentum is zero.
Explanation:
This problem can be solved by applying the momentum conservation theorem and the amount of motion. This theorem tells us that the amount of motion is conserved before and after a collision.
In the next equation, we will write to the left of the equal sign the amount of motion before the collision and to the right the amount of motion after the collision.
where:
P₁ = momentum of the ball moving to the right, before the collision = 85 [kg*m/s]
P₂ = momentum of the ball moving to the left, before the collision = - 85 [kg*m/s]
P₃ = Final momentum after the collision [kg*m/s]
There is no movement of any of the balls, they remain at rest after the impact.

Answer:
The ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.
Explanation:
In order to solve this problem we must first start by doing a drawing that will represent the situation. (See picture attached).
We can see in the picture that the least the angle the farther the ball will go. So we need to find the A and B position to determine how farther the second shot would go. Let's start with point A.
So, first we need to determine the components of the velocity of the ball, like this:
we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.317s for the ball to hit on point A.
so now we can find the distance from the net to point A with this time. We can find it like this:
Once we found the distance between the net and point A, we can similarly find the distance between the net and point B:
t= -0.9159s or t=0.468s
we pick the positive one, so it takes 0.468s for the ball to hit on point B.
so now we can find the distance from the net to point B with this time. We can find it like this:
So once we got the two distances we can now find the difference between them:
so the ball would have landed 3.31m farther if the downward angle were 6.0° instead.
