Consevation of momentum applies. The final compond mass must have the same momentum as the net momentum of the two balls before the collision. Remember, momentum is a vector and direction is important. For example if the two balls are moving toward each other with the same momentum, the net momentum is zero because they are moving in opposite directions. So the compound ball will not move. Or, if ball 1 is moving left and has a greater momentum then ball 2 ,moving right, then the compound ball will move left. Its momentum will equal the difference between the two momentums because when you add two vectors in opposite directions you subtract their magnitudes. Mechanical energy (potential + kinetic) is not conserved in this collision because some mechanical energy is lost as heat in the collision.
In plate tectonics, a convergent boundary also known as a destructive plate boundary (because of subduction), is an actively deforming region where two (or more) tectonic plates or fragments of lithosphere move toward one another and collide. As a result of pressure, friction, and plate material melting in the mantle, earthquakes and volcanoes are common near convergent boundaries.
One of the way is they move towards each other and converge,or collide
The particles of the gas will heat up, move faster and collide with each other more, increasing the pressure and the can will explode.
It's because of refraction, the way that light rays move through water.
have the patient stick out his tongue and move it from side to side
cells dont stick together they move together
The velocity of the gliders after they stick together will be zero, as the total momentum of the system will remain conserved. Since they have the same mass and opposite velocities before the collision, their momenta will cancel out when they collide and stick together.
"Collide divide slide" is a phrase used to describe the three main types of plate boundaries: convergent (collide), divergent (divide), and transform (slide). Convergent boundaries are where plates come together, divergent boundaries are where plates move apart, and transform boundaries are where plates slide past each other.
One example of a perfectly inelastic collision is when two objects stick together after colliding, such as two clay balls colliding and sticking. Another example is when a bullet hits and embeds itself into a wooden block, causing them to move together after the collision.
In the particulate model of gases, the balls represent gas particles (atoms or molecules) that move randomly and collide with each other and the walls of the container. These collisions result in changes in pressure and volume of the gas.
Blowing between two lightweight balls would create a pressure difference causing them to move closer together due to the Bernoulli principle. The air flow tends to be faster between the balls, leading to lower pressure, causing the balls to move closer as the higher pressure air surrounding them pushes them together.
In that case, the collision is said to be inelastic. The total kinetic energy gets reduced.
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.
When two bodies stick together after a collision, it is known as a perfectly inelastic collision. In this type of collision, the kinetic energy is not conserved and the two objects move together as a single system after the collision. This usually occurs when the objects are made to stick together due to adhesive forces or when there is a high amount of deformation during the collision.
The earth crust's might appear to be moving but it is actually the plate boundaries under the solid ground that collide and rub together and cause the earthquake's to happen.
I think there is only one way- both our eye balls move at the same time.
If the two pith balls were held together, they would acquire the same charge due to the contact between them. When released, they would then repel each other due to their like charges, causing the pith balls to move apart.
