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:
17.6 N
Explanation:
The force exerted by the punter on the football is equal to the rate of change of momentum of the football:
where
is the change in momentum of the football
is the time elapsed
The change in momentum can be written as
where
m = 0.55 kg is the mass of the football
u = 0 is the initial velocity (the ball starts from rest)
v = 8.0 m/s is the final velocity
Combining the two equations and substituting the values, we find the force exerted on the ball:
