Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.

Given: Wavelength λ = 410 nm convert to Meters m = 4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m
Speed of light c = 3 x 10⁸ m/s
Required: Frequency f = ?
Formula: c = λf
f = c/λ
f = 3 x 10⁸ m/s/4.10 x 10⁻⁷ m
f = 7.32 x 10¹⁴/s or 732 Thz (Terahertz)
Answer:
Block A will have a final charge of 3.5nC.
Explanation:
This is because at the point of contact with Block B, which is electrically positive, the electrons in Block A will be attracted to the excess 'unpaired' protons in block B. Hence, the electrons will flow into Block B causing unpaired protons to remain in Block A.
This process is called Charging by Conduction.
This charging process will continue until the charges are evenly distributed between both objects.
In case you're wondering, "<em>how's all this possible within a few seconds</em>?", remember that electrons travel very fast and so, this process is a rather rapid one.
