In vacuum, going at 2.99×10^8 m/s.
According to the Law of conservation of momentum, the total momentum of the system before and after the collision remains same. The momentum may transfer from one object to another as a result of the impact, but the overall momentum of the system remains same.
So, the correct answer is option a.
The total initial momentum of all objects interacting with one another usually equals the total final momentum.
Answer:
Explanation:
Let assume that floor is horizontal. By definition, the force of friction is less or equal to the maximum static friction force. That is to say:
The maximum friction force is:
By applying Newton's law, the box has the following physical model:
Where:
Real friction is equal to 50 N, which is less than maximum friction force. Therefore, the static friction on the box is:
