-.91 - 6.72 = -7.63 Is the answer positive because magnitude is positive?

Homework Statement A 0.70 kg ball is moving horizontally with speed of 9.6 m/s when it strikes a vertical wall. The ball rebounds with speed of 1.3 m/s. What is the magnitude of the change in linear momentum of the ball? Homework Equations Dp = mv(f) - mv(i) The Attempt at a...

Homework Statement An overhead view of the path taken by a ball of mass m as it bounces from the rail of a pool table. The ball's initial speed is v and the angle is a. The bounce reverses the y component of the ball's velocity but does not alter the x component. ... (b) What is the change...

Thank you. When I solved for t, i got .000000004 and I thought it would be like totally okay to just use 4e-9. When I tried it again I got a more specific number by using SN button on my calculator. Using 4.6189e-9 for t, I got the right answer. 8.37855e14

I am working on this problem but I got it wrong. I'm not sure what happened. Homework Statement An electron with initial velocity Vo = 2.3e5 m/s enters a region 1.0 cm long where it is electrically accelerated. It emerges with velocity v = 4.10e6 m/s. What was its acceleration, assumed...
