- In a frame at rest with respect to the billiard table, a billiard ball of mass m moving with speed v strikes another billiard ball of mass m at rest. The first ball comes to rest after the collision while the second ball takes off with speed v in the original direction of the motion of the first ball. This shows that momentum is conserved in this frame. (a) Now, describe the same collision from the perspective of a frame that is moving with speed v in the direction of the motion of the first ball. (b) Is the momentum conserved in this frame?arrow_forward(a) Find the momentum of a 1.00109 kg asteroid heading towards the Earth at 30.0 km/s.

- Momo with mass m is sliding down an inclined plane that makes an angle o relative to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between Momo and the inclined plane is Pk. Obtain an expression for Momo's acceleration along the incline. Assign a rotated Cartesian plane so that the acceleration is along the positive x-axis and the normal force is along the positive y-axis. The component of the weight parallel to Momo's acceleration is Wx = mg The magnitude of the frictional force is f = Pk The normal force on Momo is n- mg With these expressions and applying Newton's second law, we arrive an expression for Momo's acceleration: a = - Pkarrow_forwardA thin empty frame is hung along side A (see figure).
