Simple question related to change in kinetic energy and change in momentum

If the change in momentum is equal to 0 (Δmv=0), does that mean that the change in kinetic energy is also equal to 0 (Δ.5mv^2=0)? This is just a general question.-Yes, but the reverse is not necessari

What is the total retarding force

A kid on a tricycle is being pushed by her father at a constant velocity.The father exerts a constant force of 10.0 N at an angle of 30.0o below the horizontal. If the combined mass of the kid and th

A 0.12 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring whose force constant is 570 N/m.

A 0.12 kg block on a horizontal frictionless surface is attached to a spring whose force constant is 570 N/m. The block is pulled from its equilibrium position at x = 0m to a displacement x = +0.080m

Events leading to the conduction of a nerve impulse

Fixed end point reflection of mechanical waves

Why is it that when you produce a mechanical (transverse) wave, on a string for example, the reflected wave has the same amplitude as the incident wave if its reflected from a fixed end? The energy o

Why are Maxwell's electromagnetic field equations so complex

Why is it so difficult to master, and why are they so complicated? Should not equations like this be simple and elegant? Its pretty ugly if you ask me!-They are incredibly elegant in modern vector n
