- Question 1arrow_forwardcomplete the following 3 steps. 1. Indicate what your chosen system is (which objects are included in the system?) as well as your initial and final instants. Explain how your choice will help you solve the problem. 2. Draw a momentum-impulse bar chart for your chosen system that is consistent with the information given. 3. Write an equation using the bar chart as a guide and solve for any unknowns. A 6-kg bowling ball moving at 3 m/s hits a single 2-kg pin, knocking it forward at 6 m/s. If the collision took 0.050 s, what average force was exerted on the pin?arrow_forwardA brick stands on the ground vertically, as shown. A ball made of clay with mass m is thrown with velocity v at the brick and sticks to it. Another ball made of aluminum but with the same mass m is also thrown with the same velocity v at the brick but instead bounces off of it. Which ball is more likely to knock the brick over? a. Not enough information. b. the clay ball c. the aluminum ball d. Both balls are equally likely to knock over the brick.arrow_forward
- Which one among the following statements is CORRECT? A.) Momentum is a scalar quantity B.) In an elastic collision, momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not C.) In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved D.) In an inelastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conservedarrow_forward1D Elastic Collision 1. You have two balls. They will collide elastically in 1D. Choose the following: • The masses of the balls (they cannot have the same mass). • The initial velocities of the balls (neither can be at rest). Solve for the final velocities of the balls after the collision using Conservation of Momentum and Conservation of Energy • Solve, you must draw a picture, set photo 1 and photo 2, and draw origin and axes?arrow_forward8.) In this photo, a fire extinguisher provides the impulse for a hallway rocket cart. Which is NOT true about the motion of the rocket cart and person? a.) The cart and person are propelled as a result of gas from the fire extinguisher pushing against air in the room. b.) The force of the gas on the cart and person is equal and opposite to the force of the person and cart on the expelled gas. c.) The momentum of the cart and person is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the momentum of the expelled gas.arrow_forward

If the collision is elastic, set up the equations you would solve to determine how fast is each ball moving after the collision. 1b) If the collision between the two balls in question 1 instead results in both balls sticking together as one, what will their resulting velocity be?arrow_forward0₁ 5. Student A cadet's life was saved in an automobile accident because an airbag expanded to stop the motion of his head. If the airbag had not deployed, the windshield would have stopped the motion of his head in a much shorter time. Compared to the windshield, the airbag: caused a much smaller change in momentum of the cadet's head. b. exerted a much smaller impulse on the cadet's head. caused a much smaller change in kinetic energy of the cadet's head. d. exerted a much smaller force on the cadet's head. did much more work on the cadet's head. a. 0. e biect is equal to:arrow_forward5. *A ball of mass 6.5 kg moving with a speed of 15 m/s to the right collides head-on with a 3.5 kg ball which is at rest.
