When object A collides with object B and bounces back, its final momentum is ____ its initial momentum.

Penn Foster STudents:  Oil Lamps

Answer:

a. the work done by the gravitational force on Block A is less than the work done by the gravitational force on Block B.

b. the speed of Block A is equal to the speed of Block B.

c. the momentum of Block A is less than the momentum of Block B.

Explanation:

a. The  work done by the gravitational force is equal to:

w = m*g*h

where m is mass, g is the standard gravitational acceleration and h is height. Given that both blocks are released from rest at the same height, then, the bigger the mass, the bigger the work done.

b. With ramps frictionless, the final speed of the blocs is:

v = √(2*g*h)

which is independent of the mass of the blocks.

c. The momentum is calculated as follows:

momentum = m*v

Given that both bocks has the same speed, then, the bigger the mass, the bigger the momentum.

Final answer:

The work done by gravitational force on blocks A and B is equal as the work is independent of the path. Both blocks have the same speed when they reach the final height due to the conversion of potential energy into kinetic energy. However, the momentum of Block B is greater due to its larger mass.

Explanation:

This question is about the principles of work, energy and momentum in physics. Let's address each part of it:

1. Work done by gravitational force: The work done by the gravitational force on both blocks A and B is equal. This is because work done by gravity depends only on the change in height, which is the same for both blocks, and the weight of the block. So, even though Block B is heavier as it weighs more than Block A, the work done is the same because the force of gravity has to move the blocks the same vertical distance.
2. Speed of the blocks: The speed of both blocks A and B will be equal when they reach the final height. This is because, in the absence of friction and air resistance, the blocks will convert all of their gravitational potential energy at the start into kinetic energy at the end, irrespective of their weights or the steepness of the ramps.
3. Momentum of the blocks: The momentum of Block B is greater than Block A. This is because momentum depends on both the mass and the velocity of an object. Even though both blocks have the same speed at the bottom, Block B is heavier, therefore, it will have more momentum.

Answer:

They collide, couple together, and roll away in the direction thatthe 2m/s car was rolling in.

Explanation:

We should start off with stating that the conservation of momentum is used here.

Momentum = mass * speed

Since, mass of both freight cars is the same, the speed determines which has more momentum.

Thus, the momentum of the 2 m/s freight car is twice that of the 1 m/s freight car.

The final speed is calculated as below:

mass * (velocity of first freight car) + mass * (velocity of second freight car) = (mass of both freight cars) * final velocity

(m * V1) + (m * V2) = (2m * V)

Let's substitute the velocities 1m/s for the first car, and - 2m/s for the second. (since the second is opposite in direction)

We get:

solving this we get:

V = - 0.5 m/s

Thus we can see that both cars will roll away in the direction that the 2 m/s car was going in. (because of the negative sign in the answer)
