Answer:

8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}

Explanation:

The impulse-momentum theorem gives the impulse on an object to be equal to the change in momentum of that object. Since mass is maintained, the change in momentum of the basketball is:

\Delta p = m\Delta v, where m is the mass of the basketball and \Delta v is the change in velocity.

Since the basketball is changing direction, its total change in velocity is:

\Delta v = 20-(-15)=35\:\mathrm{m/s}.

Therefore, the basketball's change in momentum is:

\Delta p = m\Delta v = 0.23\cdot 35= 8.05=8.1\:\mathrm{kg\cdot m/s}.

Thus, the impulse on the basketball is \fbox{$8.1\:\mathrm{Ns}$} (two significant figures).

Answer:

It conserves both energy and momentum in the collision at the same time. By design, when the balls collide the strings that hold them up are vertical (assuming balls are only swung from one side).

How far does light travel in the time it takes sound to travel 1 cm in air at 20°c?
kykrilka [37]
The speed of sound at 20^{\circ}C is approximately v=343 m/s. The distance covered by the sound wave is
s=1 cm=0.01 m
And the time it takes is
t= \frac{S}{v}= \frac{0.01 m}{343 m/s}=2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s

Now we want to find how far the light travels during this time. Light travels at speed c=3 \cdot 10^8 m/s, therefore the distance it covers during this time is
S=ct = (3 \cdot 10^8 m/s)(2.9 \cdot 10^{-5} s)=8700 m
