Answer:

The change in linear momentum of the ball amounts to 6 kg-m/s.

Explanation:

Provided that,

Ball mass, m = 1 kg

Initial ball speed, u = 3 m/s

Upon striking a wall, it rebounds, moving horizontally to the opposite side at the same speed of 3 m/s, thus v = -3 m/s

The change in linear momentum is calculated as follows:

p=m(v-u)\\\\p=1\ kg\times (-3-3)\\\\p=-6\ kg-m/s

Consequently, the magnitude of the change in linear momentum of the ball is 6 kg-m/s.

According to Newton's second law, Force equals the rate of change of momentum over time. Momentum change is equal to Force times time. So, F=ma can be rearranged to a=F/m, a more recognizable formulation of Newton's second law
Using a relevant kinematic equation for mass m: V=u+at; where initial speed u=0; thus, acceleration a=F/m gives V=(F/m)xt, which translates to t=mV/F. For mass 2m, applying the same formula: V=u+at; u=0; a=F/2m indicates V=(F/2m)xt, leading to t=2mV/F (possibly double the initial time)
I might have erred somewhere along the line, but the fundamental concept seems valid... using another kinematic equation for m: s=ut + (1/2)at²; with s=d; and initial speed u=0; a=F/m; t=1; results in d=(1/2)(F/m) = F/2m. Similarly, for 2m: s=ut + (1/2)at²; s=d; u=0; a=F/2m; and t=1 gives d=(1/2)(F/2m)=F/4m (half the distance perhaps???? WHAT???!)

Which, if any, of the following statements concerning the work done by a conservative force is NOT true? All of these statements
Yuliya22 [3333]

Answer:

If the starting and ending points are identical, the overall work equals zero.

Explanation:

Option (D) is correct.

A force is considered conservative when the work performed by it while moving an object from point A to point B does not rely on the path taken and remains consistent across all paths. The work done is determined solely by the initial and final locations of the particle. Thus, when the initial and final positions in a conservative field coincide, the work is said to be zero.
