- What is the average momentum of an avalanche that moves a 40-cm-thick layer of snow over an area of 100 m by 500 m over a distance of 1 km down a hill in 5.5 s? Assume a density of 350kg/m3 for the snow.arrow_forwardA head-on, elastic collision occurs between two billiard balls of equal mass. If a red ball is traveling to the right with speed v and a blue ball is traveling to the left with speed 3v before the collision, what statement is true concerning their velocities subsequent to the collision? Neglect any effects of spin. (a) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed 3v. (b) The red ball travels to the left with speed v, while the blue ball continues to move to the left with a speed 2v. (c) The red ball travels to the left with speed 3v, while the blue ball travels to the right with speed v. (d) Their final velocities cannot be determined because momentum is not conserved in the collision. (e) The velocities cannot be determined without knowing the mass of each ball.arrow_forwardA tennis ball of mass mt is held just above a basketball of mass mb, as shown in Figure P8.22. With their centers vertically aligned, both are released from rest at the same moment so that the bottom of the basketball falls freely through a height h and strikes the floor. Assume an elastic collision with the ground instantaneously reverses the velocity of the basketball while the tennis ball is still moving down because the balls have separated a bit while falling. Next, the two balls meet in an elastic collision. (a) To what height does the tennis ball rebound? (b) How do you account for the height in (a) being larger than h? Does that seem like a violation of conservation of energy? Figure P8.22arrow_forward
- Initially, ball 1 rests on an incline of height h, and ball 2 rests on an incline of height h/2 as shown in Figure P11.40. They are released from rest simultaneously and collide elastically in the trough of the track. If m2 = 4 m1, m1 = 0.045 kg, and h = 0.65 m, what is the velocity of each ball after the collision?arrow_forwardCheck Your Understanding Would the ball’s change of momentum have been larger, smaller, or the same, if it had collided with the floor and stopped (without bouncing)? Would the ball’s change of momentum have been larger, smaller, or the same, if it had collided with the floor and stopped (without bouncing)?arrow_forwardDescribe a system for which momentum is conserved but mechanical energy is not. Now the reverse: Describe a system for which kinetic energy is conserved but momentum is not.arrow_forward
- A massive tractor is rolling down a country road. In a perfectly inelastic collision, a small sports car runs into the machine from behind. (i) Which vehicle experiences a change in momentum of larger magnitude? (a) The car does. (b) The tractor does. (c) Their momentum changes are the same size. (d) It could be either vehicle. (ii) Which vehicle experiences a larger change in kinetic energy? (a) The car does. (b) The tractor does. (c) Their kinetic energy changes are the same size. (d) It could be either vehicle.arrow_forwardWhen two objects collide, the impulse exerted on object 1 by object 2 is equal in magnitude and opposite and direction to the impulse exerted on object 2 by object 1: I[1on2]=I[2on1](11.8) And the change in their momenta is given by: p1=p2(11.9) Which of Newtons three laws justifies these two equations?arrow_forwardIf a rainstorm drops 1 cm of rain over an area of 10km2 in the period of 1 hour, what is the momentum of the rain that falls in one second?

The teacher is next going to throw you a medicine ball whose mass is ten times the mass of the baseball. You are given the following choices: You can have the medicine ball thrown with (a) the same speed as the baseball, (b) the same momentum, or (c) the same kinetic energy. Rank these choices from easiest to hardest to catch.arrow_forwardAn object that has a small mass and an object that has a large mass have the same momentum.
