Which is true about inelastic collisions: a. An inelastic collision does not obey conservation of energy. b. An inelastic collis

ion conserves kinetic energy. c. Objects will stick together upon collision. d. Momentum is not conserved in inelastic collisions..

Answer:

Option c is correct

Explanation:

There are two types of collisions-elastic collision and inelastic collision.

In elastic collision, both kinetic energy and total momentum are conserved. On the other hand, in inelastic collision, total momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is not conserved. Thus, option b and d are incorrect.

Total energy is always conserved in both types. Thus, option a is incorrect.

In a perfectly inelastic collision, objects stick together. This happens because maximum kinetic energy is dissipated and used in bonding of the two objects. Thus, correct option is c.

A wooden block with mass 1.60 kg is placed against a compressed spring at the bottom of a slope inclined at an angle of 30.0° (p

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer:

The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of block = 1.60 kg

Angle = 30.0°

Distance = 6.55 m

Speed = 7.50 m/s

Coefficient of kinetic friction = 0.50

We need to calculate the amount of potential energy

Using formula of conservation of energy between point A and B

$U_{A}+k_{A}+w_{A}=U_{B}+k_{B}$

$U_{A}+0-fd=mgy+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

$U_{A}=\mu mg\cos\theta\times d+mg h\sin\theta+\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Put the value into the formula

$U_{A}=0.50\times1.60\times9.8\cos30\times6.55+1.60\times9.8\times6.55\sin30+\dfrac{1}{2}\times1.60\times(7.50)^2$

$U_{A}=88.8\ J$

Hence, The amount of potential energy that was initially stored in the spring is 88.8 J.

An object is placed 50.0 cm in front of a convex mirror. where can be the image located if the focal length is 40 cm from the mi

sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

Image will form at distance 22.22 cm behind the mirror

Explanation:

As we know that the mirror formula is given as

$\frac{1}{d_i} + \frac{1}{d_o} = \frac{1}{f}$

now we know that

object distance from mirror is

$d_o = -50 cm$

Focal length of the mirror is given as

$f = 40 cm$

now we have

$\frac{1}{-50} + \frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{40}$

$\frac{1}{d_i} = \frac{1}{50} + \frac{1}{40}$

$d_i = 22.22 cm$

A baseball player friend of yours wants to determine his pitching speed. You have him stand on a ledge and throw the ball horizo

Alla [95]

Answer:

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$

Explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Height above the ground, H= 5.0m

Range of the ball, R= 20 m

Initial horizontal velocity = $v_{ox}$

Initial vertical velocity= $v_{oy}$ (Since ball was thrown horizontally only)

Acceleration acting horizontally, $a_x$ = 0 m/s² [ Since no acceleration acts horizontally) ]

Vertical Acceleration, $a_y$ = 9.8 m/s² (Since only gravity acts on it)

Let 't' be the time taken to reach ground

Therefore, using equations of motion, we have

$H= v_{oy}t+\frac{1}{2}a_yt^2$

$5= (0)t+\frac{1}{2}(9.8)t^2$

$t= \frac{10}{9.8}=1.02 s$

Then using Equations of motion for horizontal motion,

$R= v_{ox}t+\frac{1}{2}a_xt^2$

$20= v_{ox}(1.02)+\frac{1}{2}(0)(1.02)^2$

$v_{ox}= 19.6\ m/s$
