In this collision, 1/2 of the initial kinetic energy of the first glider is converted into thermal energy.

<h3>In plain English, what is kinetic energy?</h3>

An object's strength as a result ofstrength an object has as a result or motion is known as kinetic energy. Toorder to accelerate an object, a force must be applied. Applying force requires effort on our part. When the work is done, power is transported to the thing, which causes it to move at the athe new, constant pace.

<h3>What does kinetic energy mean, or what are some instances?</h3>

The motion energy is known as kinetic energy, and it is manifested when a particle, object, or group if particles moves. Any moving object uses kinetic energy, including people walking, baseballs being thrown, food falling from tables, and charged particles in electric fields.

A bungee cord can stretch, but it is never compressed. When the distance between the two ends of the cord is less than its unstr
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that

g=9.8m/s²

The spring constant is

k=50N/m

The length of the bungee cord is

Lo=32m

Height of bridge which one end of the bungee is tied is 91m

A steel ball of mass 92kg is attached to the other end of the bungee.

The potential energy(Us) of the steel ball before dropped from the bridge is given as

P.E= mgh

P.E= 92×9.8×91

P.E= 82045.6 J

Us= 82045.6 J

Potential energy)(Uc) of the cord is given as

Uc= ½ke²

Where 'e' is the extension

Then the extension is final height extended by cord minus height of cord

e=hf - hi

e=hf - 32

Uc= ½×50×(hf-32)²

Uc=25(hf-32)²

Using conservation of energy,

Then,

The potential energy of free fall equals the potential energy in string

Uc=Us

25(hf-32)²=82045.6

(hf-32)² = 82045.6/25

(hf-32)²=3281.825

Take square root of both sides

√(hf-32)²=√(3281.825)

hf-32=57.29

hf=57.29+32

hf=89.29m

We neglect the negative sign of the root because the string cannot compressed
