A ball of clay mass "M/8" moves with speed "v" towards a larger mass M. As the a ball of clay hit and sticks on the a larger mass who was initially still. a) What would be the speed of the combination after the collision? b) How much did the spring compressed c) How long did it take for the spring to be compressed due to the collision?arrow_forwardIt is generally a good idea to gain an understanding of the size of units. Consider each object and calculate the magnitude of their momentum in SI units. A ladybug with mass 32.90 milligrams flies by your head at 4.53 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: A 30.70 km boy walks at 4.27 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: A car with mass 997 kg is moving at a speed of 40.1 km/h. magnitude of the momentum: Based on the previous results, which scenario likely describes an object possessing 1 kg-m/s? a mosquito flying through a swamp a cat walking down a sidewalk a beetle walking across a jungle floor a tiger running after prey an elephant running across a field kg-m/s kg-m/s kg-m/sarrow_forward
