Answer:

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

(a) Elastic collision: When there is no loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be elastic collision.

In case of elastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is conserved and all the forces are conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The kinetic energy of the system before collision = the kinetic energy after the collision

(b) Inelastic collision: When there is some loss of energy during the collision, then the collision is said to be inelastic collision.

In case of inelastic collision, the momentum is conserved, the kinetic energy is not conserved, the total mechanical energy is conserved and all the forces or some of the forces are non conservative in nature.

The momentum of the system before collision = the momentum of system after collision

The total mechanical energy of the system before collision = total mechanical of the system after the collision

A cylindrical metal can is to have no lid. It is to have a volume of 125π in3. What height minimizes the amount of metal used?
Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Minimum height of metal = 5 inches

Explanation:

Volume of the cylindrical metal = πR²H = 125π

cancelling out π on both sides

R²H = 125

Hence it can be deduced that R² = 25 and H = 5

Hence minimum height of metal = 5 inches

A truck with a mass of 1.5 x 103 kg accelerates to a speed of 18.0 m/s in 12.0 s from a dead stop. Assume that the force of resi
Yakvenalex [24]
Power = Net Force x velocity
Net force = driving force - force of resistance
Driving force = mass x acceleration
Acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time
Acceleration = (18 - 0) / 12 = 1.5 m/s²
Driving force = 1.5 x 10³ x 1.5
= 2250 N
Net force = 2250 - 400
= 1850
Power = 1850 x 18
= 3.33 x 10⁴ Watts

A cheetah can accelerate from rest to a speed of 21.5 m/s in 6.75 s. What is its acceleration? m/s^2
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

Acceleration will be a=3.185m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given final velocity v = 21.5 m/sec

Time t = 6.75 sec

As cheetah starts from rest so initial velocity u = 0 m/sec

From first equation of motion we know that v = u+at, here v is final velocity, u is initial velocity, a is acceleration and t is time

So 21.5=0+a\times 6.75

a=3.185m/sec^2
