Answer:
Answer E.
For a collision to be completely elastic, there must be NO LOSS in kinetic energy.
We can go through each answer choice:
A. Since the ball rebounds at half the initial speed, there is a loss in kinetic energy. This is NOT an elastic collision.
B. A collision involving sticking is an example of a perfectly INELASTIC collision. This is NOT an elastic collision.
C. A reduced speed indicates that there is a loss of kinetic energy. This is NOT elastic.
D. The balls traveling at half the speed after the collision indicates a loss of kinetic energy, making this collision NOT elastic.
E. This collision indicates an exchange of velocities, characteristic of an elastic collision. We can prove this:
Let:
m = mass of each ball
v = velocity
We have the initial kinetic energy as:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=21mv2+0=21mv2
And the final as:
KE = 0 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=0+21mv2=21mv2
The correct answer is Cl.
Chlorine is a substance that's employed in industry and is present in a number of household goods. There are times when chlorine takes the form of toxic gas. Chlorine gas can be converted into a liquid by applying pressure and cooling so that it can be transported and stored. The term "oxidation number" refers to the number of electrons that an element's atom either loses or gains during the production of a compound. The charge that an atom seems to have when forming ionic connections with other heteroatoms is used to define an atom's oxidation number. Even if it develops a covalent bond, an atom with a higher electronegativity is given a negative oxidation state.
