What happens to a ball rolling down a hill and hits a box and the momentum decreases?

The ball with mass (m) hits the box at a certain velocity (v) and the momentum (mv) is equal to the force (F) at impact times the time (t) it takes to stop resulting in a high acceleration that will deform the box. Mathematically,
Ft = mv ;
F = mv/t
You would need to know the box stiffness property to determine the time

∙ 7y agoA number of different things can happen which depend on many factors. Amongst these are:
- the momentum of the ball,
- the elasticity of the ball,
- the coefficient of friction between the box and the hill,
- the gradient of the hill after the point of collision.

Is harder to stop a rolling bowling ball than a rolling ping pong ball when both are rolling at the same velocity Which is this an example of?
It is an example of momentum (sometimes called "inertia"). Velocity x mass. The bowling ball is much, much heavier. With both rolling at the same speed, the bowling ball is harder to stop because it has much more mass.
What did the ball do when it stopped rolling?
stops rolling?
A rolling ball will eventually stop rolling why does it do that?
It will not, unless it is acted upon another force. If it's rolling on something, then friction will stop it (the ball rubbing on the table slows it down).
Why it is possible to catch a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius?
The solid ball, will have more mass in comparison to the hollow ball of the same radius. Since, momentum of an object is the product of its mass and velocity, the solid object will have more momentum. Therefore, the force required to stop the solid ball will be much greater than the force required to stop the hollow ball (since, the hollow ball will have less momentum because of its less mass). That's why its difficult to catch a a solid ball as compared to a hollow ball of equal radius.skhatti
What is the equation for calculating average force?
weight *speed / stopping time example : What is the momentum of an 7 kg bowling ball rolling at 5 m/s? (7x5=35 kg m/s) If the bowling ball rolls into a pillow and stops in 0.5 s, calculate the average force it exerts on the pillow. (35/.5=70 N)
As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing,the increasing speed is accompanied by?
momentum As the speed of a rolling ball is increasing, the increasing speed is accompanied by: a. increasing momentum.
A ball roll down the hill and hits a box the momentum of the ball decreases which happen to the momentum?
It is converted to Inertia I think.
A ball rolls down a hill and hits a box the momentum of the ball decreases what happens to its momentum?
Momentum (as energy) isn't lost, it is transferred. Momentum is lost to friction when the ball is rolling, but in the described situation, the momentum is basically all transferred to the box upon impact. The box may tip over if light enough, or the box may break, or if heavy enough and built well enough, the box may absorb the impact and be left seemingly untouched. If the ball continues to roll after impact (if it bounces over/around/off of the box, then only partial momentum has been transferred to the box.
Which can be kicked farther a rolling ball or an idle ball?
An idle ball because the reverse momentum of a rolling ball makes it harder to kick far.
Why the momentum of a billiard ball rolling on a billiard table change?
Friction between the ball and cloth.
Why does momentum of a billiard ball rolling on a billiard table change?
Friction between the ball and cloth.
What happens to the momentum of the bowling ball when it hits pins?
Energy is transferred to the pins and the deflection and contact of the pins will typically slow the ball momentum.
Will a ball roll straight after it leaves a curved track?
no because it has the momentum of rolling curved and it will go that direction
When a ball is thrown up the magnitude of its momentum decreases and then increases.Does this violate the conservation of momentum principle?
No, because the conservation momentum principle is only valid when none force is applied. And here you have the gravity force.
Can a bird and a bowling ball have the same momentum?
Yes. Momentum is simply the product of mass x velocity. If the bowling ball happens to be on the shelf, then even a housefly or a falling piece of tissue has more momentum.
How would you compare the momentum of a 4.0 ball rolling a 3.0 ms compare to the momentum of a 6.0kg ball rolling at 2 ms?
The formula for momentum is p = m*v, where p is momentum, m is mass in kg, and v is velocity in m/s. The unit for momentum is kg*m/s.Momentum of 4.0kg ballp = 4.0kg x 3.0m/s = 12kg*m/sMomentum of 6.0kg ballp = 6.0kg x 2m/s = 12kg*m/sThey both have the same momentum.
The momentum of a bowling ball decreases by 0.5 kg meters per second when it hits some pins How much momentum did the pins gain Explain?
0.5 kg m/s by the law of conservation of momentum
