  • Cross-linking a Polymer

    Observe that the consistency of the mixture in the bag changes as you need it. 8. When the consistency is that of silly putty, remove it from the bag and form it into a ball. Pat off excess water with a paper towel.

  • Conservation of momentum

    Since initially there was a non-zero momentum (one object was moving) this will break the conservation of momentum principle. Note: Think of a putty ball thrown at a wall. After the collision both objects will be at rest.

  • Speed of Point on Rim of Wheel

    A piece of putty is stuck to the rim of a grinding wheel that rotates about a horizontal axis. The putty breaks loose from the wheel at a point at the same horizontal height as the axis of rotation.

  • Elastic and Inelastic Collisions and Momentum

    You jump and hit the ball back with a horizontal velocity of 7.0 m/s. If the contact time is 0.040 s, what was the average force on the ball? 39. A 0.35-kg piece of putty is dropped from a height of 2.5 m above a flat surface.
