Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 
and the kinetic energy is 
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is , but the kinetic energy is reduced to 
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
Answer with Explanation:
We are given that
Mass of box=35 kg
Coefficient of static friction between box and truck bed=0.202
Acceleration due to gravity=
a.We have to find the force by which the box accelerates forward.
Force by which box accelerates=
Force by which box accelerates=
b.We have to find the maximum acceleration can the truck have before the box slides.
Force =friction force
Hence, the truck can have maximum acceleration before the box slide=
P=4800kgm/s
As
p=mΔv
where p is momentum, m is mass and v is velocity
Given values is
m =1200kg
Δv= 17m/s-13m/s=4m/s
Now
p=mΔv
p=(1200kg)*(4m/s)
p=4800kgm/s
Answer:
<h2>250 kg</h2>
Explanation:
The mass of the rock can be found by using the formula
p is the momentum
v is the velocity
From the question we have
We have the final answer as
<h3>250 kg</h3>
