Edexcel IGCSE Physics 1.11 Effects of Forces Questions question 1
The diagram shows a child's toy for accelerating steel balls.
This is how the toy works.
- the toy uses three identical steel balls, each with a mass of 4.1 g
- ball A moves towards the magnet
- ball B is in contact with the magnet
- balls B and C are initially at rest and are in contact with each other
- when ball A collides with the magnet, ball C moves away from the magnet
Ball A is attracted to the magnet.
Explain how this attraction affects the momentum of ball A as it approaches the magnet.
