I am completely stuck. Need help. I have attached the problem. Please view attachment before answering. If you can please explain your answer so I can fully understand. Thank you!
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?
A box is sliding on a frictionless surface when it suddenly begins to rain heavily. If the
downpour of rainfall falls vertically into the box, gradually filling it, what would happen to the
speed of the box?
10
F The speed of the box would increase because of conservation of momentum.
G The speed of the box would decrease because of conservation of momentum.
The speed of the box would increase because of the conservation of energy.
J
The speed of the box would decrease because of the conservation of energy.
