What will happen to the velocity and momentum of each ball when the small ball hits the heavier large ball?

1 answer:

7 0

Most of the momentum is transferred to the ball on top. Since the collision in this situation is elastic, momentum is conserved, meaning the momentum of both balls before hitting the floor is equal to the momentum of both balls right after the collision.

For which question could a testable hypothesis be developed?

Mandarinka [93]

I believe it’s B; Theories may be proven to be true and become laws.
A would make sense if we were talking about hypotheses however, we’re not.

A man stands on top of a cliff and shouts.

satela [25.4K]

$\small\bf \: let \: the \: distance \: of \: the \: man \: from \: the \: cliff \: be \: x$

$\small\bf \: thus \: time \: taken \: by \: sound \: to \: hit \: the \: cilff \: and \: return = \frac{2x}{v} = 1$

$\bf \to \: x = \frac{320}{2} m = 160m$

$\small \bf \: thus \: the \: distance \: between \: the \: cliffs \: = 160m \times 2 = 320m$

Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s.To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the blank of the total tri

Fittoniya [83]

Answer: To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the Time of the total trip in seconds.

Explanation:

Acceleration can be defined as rate of change of velocity.

$a = \frac{dv}{dt}$

for calculating acceleration, initial and final velocity are required in meter per second and the total time of the trip in seconds. Then acceleration is measured in meter per second square.

Thus, Micah knows that a car had a change in velocity of 15 m/s.To determine acceleration ,Micah also needs the <u>Time</u> of the total trip in seconds.
