At the end of the last Apollo 15 moon walk, Commander David Scott (pictured left) performed a live demonstration for the television cameras. He held out a ...
Clearly 100% fake. At best this was done in a vacuum chamber in America why
else would the background look like a cardboard prop.they borrowed from the
button moon set And why else would they be talking about adding solar wind?
+Reptile \o/ to which they would say "but theres only 7 million people in the world" before choking on their own tongue and dying. actually thats not a bad plan.
+Reptile \o/ and anyone dumb enough to believe that the footage was faked would argue it was recorded later, and people were TOLD that it broadcast in 1969 out of shear desperation for a solid argument without realizing millions of people watched it happen in 1969
+aaronbill3My response to that would be that it was technicaly impossible to create televized slow motion footage. There is a great video about that:.watch?v=sGXTF6bs1IU
+tony amato while we HAVE made total vacuums on Earth (for testing space suits, I might add) due to Earth's gravity the feather wouldnt be able to bounce, so...
actually the only way to make a feather and an hammer fall at the same speed is to eliminate the air the would mean that they were in a gigantic vacuum, sound pretty hard to make, they are on the moon
Momentum Problem: Two Objects Colliding (inelastic collision physics / dynamics)
In this video i discuss what happens when two cars of different mass and same speed but in opposite direction collide. I use the formula mass 1 x velocity 1 ...
@ Vitamins And Mercury - the formula you have used is not correct. It
should be mass 1 x velocity 1 + mass 2 x velocity 2 = mass Total x Velocity
Final. You working is correct as velocity2 is negative (moving in the
negative direction). Anyway, thanks for the good attempt.
A general comment: Momentum remains conserved in case of any collision
(elastic or inelastic). So total momentum before the collision = total
momentum after the collision. For this problem, use this formula keeping
the directions in mind.
+funlearn I understand where you are coming from. It makes me happy that your comments are polite and in depth. So what you are stating is that i should not have skipped the +() part. When ever i see a +() i just short hand it as a -.
+Vitamins And MercuryThank you for the response. However I beg to disagree with your comments. The equation is correct if you don't mention it as a formula. A formula should be independent of the directions from which the bodies are coming or the directions in which the bodies are moving after the collision. You are using conservation of momentum. So, the 'sum' of the momenta are same before and after the collision. To get the 'sum' you need to 'add'. You have also added one positive momentum with one negative momentum - which is absolutely right. But one should not mention it as a formula. Hope you have got my point. :)
Thanks for taking the time to comment. The formula is correct for this situation. If both objects were going in the positive direction then the formula you stated above would be correct.
