Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Mass of basketball, mbasketball=18mtennisball (mass of tennis ball)

Formula used:

Momentum, px=mvx

Where m= mass and vx = velocity in x- direction.

Calculation:

Yes, both can have same momentum.

By utilizing the formula of momentum.

Momentum, px=mvx

Where m= mass and vx = velocity in x- direction.

  pbasketball=ptennisballmbasketballvbasketball=mtennisballvtennisballvtennisball=m basketballm tennisballvbasketball=( 18m tennisball m tennisball )vbasketball=18vbasketball

Conclusion:

Yes, the basketball having 18times mass of a tennis ballcan have same momentum as that of tennis ball if the tennis ball moves 18 times faster than the basketball.

Consider the situation in the figure below; a neutral conducting ball hangs from the ceiling by an insulating string, and a charged insulating rod is going to be placed nearby. A. First, if the rod was not there, what statement best describes the charge distribution of the ball? 1)  Since it is a conductor, all the charges are on the outside of the ball. 2)  The ball is neutral, so it has no positive or negative charges anywhere. 3)  The positive and negative charges are separated from each other, but we don't know what direction the ball is polarized. 4)  The positive and negative charges are evenly distributed everywhere in the ball.  B. Now, when the rod is moved close to the ball, what happens to the charges on the ball? 1)  There is a separation of charges in the ball; the side closer to the rod becomes positively charged, and the opposite side becomes negatively charged. 2)  Negative charge is drawn from the ground (via the string), so the ball acquires a net negative charge. 3)…
