A lunar vehicle is tested on Earth at a speed of 10 km/h. When it travels as fast on the Moon, is its momentum more, less, or the same?
The third question: A person wanted to push a block made of steel with a mass of 800 kg to the top of a sloping bridge made of the same material, and it would rise by 10 meters every 40 meters with an acceleration of 0.66 meters / sec, as shown in the figure. What is the amount of momentum that a person must provide in order to be able to push the mold in the case of first: neglecting the presence of friction Second: not neglecting the presence of friction
You are doing an experiment in the classroom with a ramp and two balls of EQUAL mass. The balls are released at the same time and start rolling down the incline. (you are supposed to see that all is not perfect. we don’t expect the identical balls to travel down the ramp at the exact same time, only close. you should see that if the balls are close ‘within 1 or 2 cm’, we will call it identical.
Why do they NOT travel down the ramp exactly together?

- To test the speed of a bullet, you create a pendulum by attaching a 3.20 kg wooden block to the bottom of a 1.10 m long, 0.800 kg rod. The top of the rod is attached to a frictionless axle and is free to rotate about that point. You fire a 10 g bullet into the block, where it sticks, and the pendulum swings out to an angle of 38.0°.
