momentum and inertia

EDIT: friction between the surface of the pool table and the pool balls causes the balls to lose their momentum.

If a charged sphere is brought close to a rod withpairs of pith balls with a -charge on the left and on the suspended at the ends of the rod will fall off or go to geather or attract to one anoth?

The pith balls with the negative charge will repel each other due to the like charges, causing them to spread apart when a charged sphere is brought close to the rod. As a result, the pith balls will not fall off the rod but will instead move away from each other due to the repulsive forces between them.


The agent of mechanical weathering in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other rock paricles is called?

The agent of mechanical weathering in which rock is worn away by the grinding action of other rock particles is called "abrasion." This process typically occurs in environments where rocks are constantly moved by wind, water, or ice, causing them to collide and wear each other down over time.


What is the wearing away of soil by wind?

The wearing away of soil by wind is known as wind erosion. It occurs when wind carries and transports soil particles, causing them to collide with and abrade other surfaces, leading to the loss of topsoil. Wind erosion can have detrimental effects on soil fertility and agricultural productivity.


What are the three main types of plate boundaries?

The three main types of plate boundaries are divergent boundaries, where plates move away from each other; convergent boundaries, where plates collide and create mountains or deep ocean trenches; and transform boundaries, where plates slide past each other horizontally.


What are the key differences between a divergent boundary and a convergent boundary in plate tectonics?

A divergent boundary is where tectonic plates move away from each other, creating new crust. A convergent boundary is where plates collide, leading to the formation of mountains or subduction zones.

When three balls collide they bounce off each other and roll away but they eventually stop does this violate the law of conservation of momentum?

No, this does not violate the law of conservation of momentum. When three balls collide, the total momentum before the collision is equal to the total momentum after the collision. Although the balls may roll away and eventually stop due to friction and other external forces, the total momentum of the system remains conserved.


How are convergent boundaries different from divergent boundries?

convergent boundaries collide but divergent boundaries move away from each other.


What is a real world example of an elastic collision?

One example of an elastic collision is when two billiard balls collide on a pool table without friction or rotational forces. In this scenario, both balls move away from each other after the collision with the same speeds and kinetic energy as before the collision.

What will happen to earth when your sun burns out?

Earth will move away from its orbit.Planet will become dark.Life will be lost eventually with stopping of photosynthesis.Planets will collide as moving.these are few.


Why distant galaxies are traveling away from us at great speeds?

This is because the universe is expanding - only the Milky Way and the Andromeda Galaxy are heading toward each other, and they will eventually collide. This is sometimes referred to as "The Big Bang Theory".


How are convergent boundarys different from divergent boundarys?

Apply Newton's 3 law of motion to explain how 2 billiard balls moving toward each other at the same speed collide and move away from each other at the same speed as before?

Newton's Third Law states that if object A (let's call it the cue ball) exerts a force on object B (let's call it the eight ball), then the eight ball will exert an equal and opposite force on the cue ball. If the cue ball is in motion and heads toward the eight ball which is in motion toward the cue ball, they will collide. Both balls will exert the same amount of force on each other, but in opposite directions (Newton's 3rd law). Since both balls have the same mass and have the same magnitude of force acting on them, they will both accelerate at the same rate (this is actually now entering into Newton's 2nd law). a=F/m


Describe what happens to the momentum of two billiard balls that collide?

They have identical momentum before the collision . The total momentum will the the same before and after the collision. When the balls collide they will bounce apart both with same force and so the same momentum as originally - but in opposite directions. This assumes no energy loss in an ideal elastic collision.


Why planet do not collide each other?

They travel on an imaginary axis around the Sun. The Sun's gravitational pull keeps the planets from drifting away.

Astronomers knows that stars can collide with each other Is the sun likely to suffer such a collision Why or why not?

Not likely the sun is pretty far away from any other stars in our Solar System.
