A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity of 10.0m/s collides with a wall .if after the collision it moves with a velocity of 2
ch4aika [34]

Answer:

-1.2 kg - m/s

Explanation:

\pink{\frak{Given}}\begin{cases}\textsf{ A body of mass 100g moving with a velocity of 10.0m/s collides with a wall .}\\\textsf{ After the collision it moves with a velocity of 2.0m/s in the opposite direction.}\end{cases}

And we need to find out the change in momentum of the body . Here ,

  • velocity before collision (u) = 10m/s
  • velocity after collision (v) = 2m/s .

We know that momentum is defined as amount of motion contained in a body . Mathematically ,

\sf\longrightarrow momentum (p)= mass(m) * velocity(v)

Therefore change in momentum will be,

\sf\longrightarrow \triangle p = mv - mu

Since the direction of velocity changes after the collision , the velocity will be -2m/s .

\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p = 100g( -2m/s -10m/s) \\

\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p =\dfrac{100}{1000}kg ( -12m/s)  \\

\sf\longrightarrow \Delta p   = 0.1 kg * -12m/s \\

\sf\longrightarrow \boxed{\bf \Delta p = -1.2 \ kg-m/s} \\

When the material left behind has been carried by the glacier from its original location to a new location, this is called what
MAVERICK [17]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

Glaciers break rocks because of the thawing and icing of water in rock crevices. These rocks get carried in the glacier. The glaciers move because the base of the glaciers melts ever so slightly due to the weight of the glacier above (pressure reduces the melting point of ice). This smoothens the slipping of the glaciers . When the glaciers get to a warmer place, it melts and the rocks in it are deposited.

g During a collision with a wall, the velocity of a 0.4 KgKg ball changes from 25 m/sm/s towards the vall to 12 m/sm/s away from
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

F = 10.8N

Explanation:

Given the mass m = 0.4kg, v1 = 25m/s, v2 = 12m/s and t =0.5s

From Newtown's second law of motion the average force can be found. This law states that the product of the force experienced by a body and the time t of the force acting on the body is equal to the change in momentum of the body. Mathematically it can be stated as follows

F×t = m(v2 – v1)

F = m(v2 – v1)/t = 0.4(25 – 12)/0.5 = 10.8N
