a.) If an object is already moving and you applied another force parallel to it and with the same direction, does this mean that another counter force will be generated? Explain.
b.) Considering question (a), what if you applied a force lower than the force of momentum (and gravity, etc.) on the object, will it generate a counter force? Explain.
c.) On our activity, pushing the object at rest generates a counter force. How is this?
1. What are the equations for linear momentump and kinetic energy K? Please define the variables.
2. Please define concisely and in your own words the concept of conservation. Describe conservation of momentum and kinetic energy.
3. Briefly describe the difference between elastic and inelastic collisions and give an example of each. Describe these collisions in terms of the kinetic energy and
momentum.
4. A moving object collides with and sticks to a stationary object. Do the combined objects move slower, faster or at the same speed as the original moving object?
5. What is the expected value of the ratio of the final and initial momenta, pf/p; ?
