In a system with two moving objects, when a collision occurs between the objects:
the total kinetic energy is always conserved.
the total momentum is always conserved.
neither the kinetic energy nor the momentum is conserved.
the total kinetic energy and total momentum are always conserved.
when the velocity of a body is doubled, its kinetic energy is also doubled.
true or false?

- What external force is responsible for changing the momentum of a car moving along a horizontal road?arrow_forwardTwo gliders are set in motion on a horizontal air track. A spring of force constant k is attached to the back end of the second glider. As shown in Figure P8.48, the first glider, of mass m1, moves to the right with speed v1, and the second glider, of mass m2, moves more slowly to the right with speed v2. When m1 collides with the spring attached to m2, the spring compresses by a distance xmax, and the gliders then move apart again. In terms of v1, v2, m1, m2, and k, find (a) the speed rat maximum compression, (b) the maximum compression xmax, and (c) the velocity of each glider after m1 has lost contact with the spring.arrow_forwardDoing some physics homework and am kind of stumped here!arrow_forward

The kinetic energies of the rocks are the same in both cases. The kinetic energy of the rock is smaller than in the first case, but momenta is same. The kinetic energy of the rock is 1/9 its previous value. The kinetic energy of the rock is smaller than in the first case but momentum is larger.arrow_forwardA model rocket sits on the launch pad until its fuel is ignited, blasting the rocket upward. During the short time of blast off, as the ignited fuel goes down, the rocket goes up because: the fuel pushes on the ground. air friction pushes on the escaping fuel. the downward force of gravity is less than the downward momentum of the fuel. of none of the above reasons.arrow_forwardA 2.00 kg stone is dropped from rest at a height of 4.00 m.
