Answer:
<em>Total momentum is conserved</em>
Explanation:
<u>Conservation of Momentum
</u>
The momentum is a physical magnitude that measures the product of the object's velocity by its mass. The total momentum of a system is the sum of all its components' individual momentums. The two-bear system starts with a total moment of
When both bears stick together, the total mass is 20 kg, and the new momentum is
We have assumed both bears move to the right after the collision. In this situation, the total momentum is conserved
The answer will be 50N.
This is because the spring reads weight and weight is mass times acceleration due to gravity.5kg*10m/s2=50N
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know velocity after collision . Let it be v .
total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision
15 x 1.5 - 12 x .75 = ( 15 + 12 ) v
v = .5 m /s
kinetic energy before collision
1/2 x 15 x 1.5² + 1/2 x 12 x .75²
= 16.875 + 3.375
= 20.25 J
kinetic energy after collision
= 1/2 x ( 15 + 12 ) x .5²
= 3.375 J
Loss of energy = 16.875 J
This energy appear as heat and sound energy that is produced during collision .
