initial momentum = final momentum assume a linear collision‚ since no angles are given 0.05kg*0.6am/S + 0 = 0.05kg*-0.2am/S + 0.03kg*v v = 1.3 am/S It should be noted that this data isn’t valid -- the larger mass marble will continue to have "positive" velocity after colliding with a smaller mass marble. Think Newton’S cradle. I suspect that the overall KEN has increased in this problem‚ a no-no (but I haven’t calculated it). initial momentum = final momentum assume a linear collision‚ since

hour). The collision will change both cars’ momentum. But‚ because no force from outside the system has acted on the cars‚ their total momentum remains zero"(DiscoverySchool.com). Back to my example‚ although both cars were going the same speed‚ one driver lived while the other died. While this may seem like driver A was wearing his lucky tie‚ probing deeper into the case proves that physics saved his life. Sir Isaac Newton was the first man to explain what happens in a collision. He proposed

Throwing a football When the football travels through the air for a long pass it always follows a curved path because the force of gravity influences the movement of the ball in the vertical direction. As the ball travels up‚ gravity slows it down until it stops briefly at its peak height; the ball then comes down‚ and gravity accelerates it until it hits the ground. Projectile motion is the path of any object that is launched or thrown and has an arched course (howstuffworks) For the football

FRICTION Friction is necessary for walking due to the following reason‚ As per Newton’s third law of motion‚ (every action has an equal and opposite reaction) we can walk if and only if the ground we are walking on push our feet back with a force. Now‚ as per the third law the ground would definitely push our feet back but if we are walking on a perfectly smooth ground which has no friction our force would simply cancel out the force reverted by the ground and we would fall. If there was no

The Physics behind Car Safety Systems By changing an object’s momentum‚ we are able to move it either faster or slower‚ and eventually to a halt‚ depending on the amount‚ direction‚ and magnitude of the force that acts upon the object. By applying this aspect on a car’s safety systems‚ we are able to either reduce the risks of injuries as the results of a crash‚ or to avoid a crash completely. It is with this principle that seatbelts‚ crumple zones‚ air bags‚ and braking systems‚ among other features

protect an egg from the collision of a hard surface falling from various heights. An individual should be able to describe the collision in terms of changing momentum‚ impulse‚ impact force‚ and impact time. All moving objects have a quantity of motion‚ otherwise known as momentum. Momentum of a moving object can be found by multiplying the mass of the object by the velocity. Because mass is measured in kilograms and velocity is measured in meters per second‚ the unit for momentum is kilogram meters
