Test your prediction through calculation for the situations of the clay bob and the bouncy ball. Assume each has a mass of 100 grams, and each has an initial velocity of 20 m/s straight at the door. Ignore the effects of gravity. Calculate the change in momentum of

Sagot :

Answer:

a) Δp = -2.0 kgm / s,  b)   Δp = -4 kg m / s

Explanation:

In this exercise the change in moment of a ball is asked in two different cases

a) clay ball, in this case the ball sticks to the door and we have an inelastic collision where the final velocity of the ball is zero

         Δp = p_f - p₀

         Δp = 0 - m v₀

         Δp = - 0.100 20

         Δp = -2.0 kgm / s

b) in this case we have a bouncing ball, this is an elastic collision, as the gate is fixed it can be considered an object of infinite mass, therefore the final speed of the ball has the same modulus of the initial velocity, but address would count

         v_f = - v₀

        Δp = p_f -p₀

        Δp = m v_f - m v₀

        Δp = m (v_f -v₀)

        Δp = 0.100 (-20 - 20)

        Δp = -4 kg m / s
