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

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.


A ball roll down the hill and hits a box the momentum of the ball decreases which happen to the momentum?

The momentum of the ball decreases because some of its momentum is transferred to the box upon collision. This conservation of momentum is described by the law of conservation of momentum, which states that the total momentum of a closed system remains constant before and after a collision.


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.


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?

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.


Does gravity stop a ball from rolling?

No, gravity does not stop a ball from rolling. Gravity actually helps accelerate the ball as it rolls downhill by exerting a force on the ball in the direction of the slope. Friction between the ball and the surface it rolls on is what eventually slows it down and stops it.


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.


When a ball is thrown up the magnitude of its momentum decreases and then increases.Does this violate the conservation of momentum principle?

No, this does not violate the conservation of momentum principle. As the ball is thrown up, its vertical velocity decreases, causing a decrease in momentum in that direction. However, the overall momentum of the ball (including horizontal and vertical components) remains constant in the absence of external forces. When the ball reaches its highest point and falls back down, its vertical velocity increases again, conserving the total momentum of the system.


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


You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?

You throw a ball and accidentally break a glass window Describe the relationship between the momentum of the ball and what happens to the window?"It depends on the window and the size of the object you are throwing or using to break it.


If a bowling ball and a soccer ball are rolling along the ground at the same speed the bowling ball has more of this because its mass is greater?

The bowling ball has more momentum because momentum is directly proportional to an object's mass and velocity. Since the two balls are moving at the same speed, the greater mass of the bowling ball results in it having more momentum.
