A 5.0 kg chunk of putty moving at 10m/s collides and sticks to a 7.0 kg bowling ball that is initially at rest.What is the total
1 answer:
Answer:
Total momentum = 50kgm/s
Explanation:
<u>Given the following data;</u>
Mass, M1 = 5kg
Mass, M2 = 7kg
Velocity, V1 = 10m/s
Velocity, V2 = 0m/s (since it's at rest).
To find the total momentum;
Momentum can be defined as the multiplication (product) of the mass possessed by an object and its velocity. Momentum is considered to be a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.
Mathematically, momentum is given by the formula;
The law of conservation of momentum states that the total linear momentum of any closed system would always remain constant with respect to time.
Total momentum = M1V1 + M2V2
Substituting into the equation, we have;
Total momentum = 5*10 + 7*0
Total momentum = 50 + 0
<em>Total momentum = 50 kgm/s</em>
<em>Therefore, the total momentum of the bowling ball and the putty after they collide is 50 kgm/s. </em>

Answer:
The y-axis should be labelled as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)
Explanation:
The given data is presented here as follows;
Mass (kg) Newtons (kg·m/s²)
3.2 31.381
4.6 45.1111
6.1 59.821
7.4 72.569
9 89.241
10.4 101.989
10.9 106.892
From the table, it can be seen that there is a nearly linear relationship between the amount of Newtons and the mass, as the slope of the data has a relatively constant slope
Therefore, the data can be said to be a function of Weight in Newtons to the mass in kilograms such that the weight depends on the mass as follows;
W(m) in Newtons = Mass, m in kg × g
Where;
g is the constant of proportionality
Therefore, the y-axis component which is the dependent variable is the function, W(m) = Weight of the body while the x-axis component which is the independent variable is the mass. m
The graph of the data is created with Microsoft Excel give the slope which is the constant of proportionality, g = 9.8379, which is the acceleration due to gravity g ≈ 9.8 m/s²
We therefore label the y-axis as W in Newtons (kg·m/s²)
