C. in the cracks because it’s saying where it took place
Answer:
this is my lazy guess but: human activity, differences in emitted energy from earth, and natural fluctuations. BUT DONT TRUST ME LOOK IT UP IM NOT SMART
4.) We are told that ball A is travelling from right to left, which we will refer to as a positive direction, making the initial velocity of ball A, +3 m/s. If ball B is travelling in the opposite direction to A, it will be travelling at -3 m/s. The final velocity of A is +2 m/s. Using the elastic collision equation, which uses the conservation of linear momentum, we can solve for the final velocity of B.
MaVai + MbVbi = MaVaf + MbVbf
Ma = 10 kg and Mb = 5 kg are the masses of balls A and B.
Vai = +3 m/s and Vbi = -3 m/s are the initial velocities.
Vaf = +2 m/s and Vbf = ? are the final velocities.
(10)(3) + (5)(-3) = (10)(2) + 5Vbf
30 - 15 = 20 + 5Vbf
15 = 20 + 5Vbf
-5 = 5 Vbf
Vbf = -1 m/s
The final velocity of ball B is -1 m/s.
5.) We are now told that Ma = Mb, but Vai = 2Vbi
We can use another formula to look at this mathematically.
Vaf = [(Ma - Mb)/(Ma + Mb)]Vai + [(2Mb/(Ma + Mb)]Vbi
Since Ma = Mb we can simplify this formula.
Vaf = [(0)/2Ma]Vai + [2Ma/2Ma]Vbi
Vaf = Vbi
Vbf = [(2Ma/(Ma + Mb)]Vai + [(Ma - Mb)/(Ma + Mb)]Vbi
Vbf = [2Mb/2Mb]Vai + [(0)/2Mb]Vbi
Vbf = Vai
Vaf = Vbi
Vbf = 2Vbi
If the initial velocity of A is twice the initial velocity of B, then the final velocity of A will be equal to the initial velocity of B.
If the initial velocity of A is twice the initial velocity of B, then the final velocity of B will be twice the initial velocity of B.
