Why does a golf ball make a bigger dent in the sand when dropped above the sand at higher heights?
It has more momentum from a higher height. Because momentum is always conserved, and momentum is the product of mass times velocity, more sand particles must move away faster in order to conserve the momentum of a heavy ball moving fast. The ball is moving faster from a higher height because the acceleration due to gravity (-9.81 m/s^2) increases the velocity of a falling object after each second its been falling.
Would you be able to hit a golf ball farther on earth or Pluto?
You would hit a golf ball farther on Earth due to its stronger gravitational pull compared to Pluto's weaker gravity. This means the ball would stay in the air longer on Earth and travel a greater distance before landing.
Does a golf ball on the grass have a potential energy?
Yes, a golf ball on the grass has potential energy due to its position in the Earth's gravitational field. When the ball is raised to a certain height, it gains potential energy which can be converted into kinetic energy when it is in motion.
Where does kinetic energy go after it is used?
Kinetic energy can be transferred into other forms of energy, such as heat, sound, or potential energy. For example, when a moving object comes to a stop, its kinetic energy is converted into heat and sound due to friction.
How magnetic moment of electron is associated with angular momentum of electron?
magnetic moment of a particle is due to its motion around some other orbits or about its own orbit i.e due to its orbital angular momentum or its spin angular momentum.
