If the kinetic energy of each ball is equal to that of the other,
then
(1/2) (mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (1/2) (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²
Multiply each side by 2:
(mass of ppb) (speed of ppb)² = (mass of gb) (speed of gb)²
Divide each side by (mass of gb) and by (speed of ppb)² :
(mass of ppb)/(mass of gb) = (speed of gb)²/(speed of ppb)²
Take square root of each side:
√ (ratio of their masses) = ( 1 / ratio of their speeds)²
By trying to do this perfectly rigorously and elegantly, I'm also
using up a lot of space and guaranteeing that nobody will be
able to follow what I have written. Let's just come in from the
cold, and say it the clear, easy way:
If their kinetic energies are equal, then the product of each
mass and its speed² must be the same number.
If one ball has less mass than the other one, then the speed²
of the lighter one must be greater than the speed² of the heavier
one, in order to keep the products equal.
The pingpong ball is moving faster than the golf ball.
The directions of their motions are irrelevant.
There is a direct relationship between between an object's weight and its mass.
Weight is actually the force of gravity on the object's mass and it can be calculated by multiplying the object's mass and the acceleration due to gravity. The higher the mass, the higher the weight and the lower the mass, the lower the object's weight. Thus, the relationship is direct.
Answer:Principle of rectilinear propagation of light
Explanation:Principle of rectilinear propagation of light
Rectilinear propagation of light refers to the propensity of light to travel along a straight line without any interference in its trajectory. ... It is because light travels along a straight line and leaves only the areas where the object interferes.
