An object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the s

urface. In this case which of the following is true about momentum and kinetic energy? 4A) Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy may be conserved. (B) Kinetic energy is always conserved, and momentum may be conserved. (C) Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy is never conserved. (D) Both momentum and kinetic energy are always conserved. (E) Neither momentum nor kinetic energy is conserved.

Answer:

The correct answer is option 'a' 'The momentum is always conserved while as the kinetic energy may be conserved'

Explanation:

The conservation of momentum is a basic principle in nature which is always valid in an collision between 'n' number of objects if there are no external forces on the system. It is valid for both the cases weather the collision is head on or glancing or weather the object is elastic or inelastic.

The energy is only conserved in a collision that occurs on a friction less surface and the objects are purely elastic. Since in the given question it is mentioned that only the surface is friction less and no information is provided regarding the nature of the objects weather they are elastic or not hence we cannot conclusively come to any conclusion regarding the conservation of kinetic energy as the objects may be inelastic.

A bowling ball is 21.6 cm in diameter. What is the angular speed of these ball whenit is moving at 3.0 m/s?
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Diameter = 21.6 cm

Speed = 3 m/s

Find:

Angular speed

Computation:

Radius = 21.6 / 2 = 10.8 cm = 0.108 m

Angular speed = v / r

Angular speed = 3 / 0.108

Angular speed = 27.78 rad/s (Approx)

A driver has a reaction time of 0.50 s , and the maximum deceleration of her car is 6.0 m/s^2 . She is driving at 20 m/s when su
QveST [7]

Answer:

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Explanation:

t = Time taken for the car to stop

u = Initial velocity = 20 m/s

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement

a = Acceleration = -6 m/s²

Time taken by the car to stop

v=u+at\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{v-u}{a}\\\Rightarrow t=\frac{0-20}{-6}\\\Rightarrow t=3.33\ s

Total Time taken by the car to stop is 0.5+3.33 = 3.83 s

s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2\\\Rightarrow s=20\times 3.83+\frac{1}{2}\times -6\times 3.83^2\\\Rightarrow s=32.58\ m

The car stops after 32.58 m.

Distance between car and obstacle is 50-32.58 = 17.42 m

Which of the following is an example of Newton's second law of motion?
laiz [17]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Newton’s Second Law of Motion

Newton’s Second Law of Motion states that ‘when an object is acted on by an outside force, the mass of the object equals the strength of the force times the resulting acceleration’.

This can be demonstrated dropping a rock or and tissue at the same time from a ladder. They fall at an equal rate—their acceleration is constant due to the force of gravity acting on them.

The rock's impact will be a much greater force when it hits the ground, because of its greater mass. If you drop the two objects into a dish of water, you can see how different the force of impact for each object was, based on the splash made in the water by each one.

5/137 Under the action of its stern and starboard bow thrusters, the cruise ship has the velocity vB = 1 m/s of its mass center
quester [9]

The image is missing, so i have attached it;

Answer:

A) V_rel = [-(2.711)i - (0.2588)j] m/s

B) a_rel = (0.8637i + 0.0642j) m/s²

Explanation:

We are given;

the cruise ship velocity; V_b = 1 m/s

Angular velocity; ω = 1 deg/s = 1° × π/180 rad = 0.01745 rad/s

Angular acceleration;α = -0.5 deg/s² = 0.5 x π/180 rad = -0.008727 rad/s²

Now, let's write Velocity (V_a) at A in terms of the velocity at B(V_b) with r_ba being the position vector from B to A and relative velocity (V_rel)

Thus,

V_a = V_b + (ω•r_ba) + V_rel

Now, V_a = 0. Thus;

0 = V_b + (ω•r_ba) + V_rel

V_rel = -V_b - (ω•r_ba)

From the image and plugging in relevant values, we have;

V_rel = -1[(cos15)i + (sin15)j] - (0.01745k * -100j)

V_rel = - (cos15)i - (sin15)j - 1.745i

Note that; k x j = - i

V_rel = [-(2.711)i - (0.2588)j] m/s

B) Let's write the acceleration at A with respect to B in terms of a_b.

Thus,

a_a = a_b + (α*r_ba) + (ω(ω•r_ba)) + (2ω*v_rel) + a_rel

a_a and a_b = 0.

Thus;

0 = (α*r_ba) + (ω(ω•r_ba)) + (2ω*v_rel) + a_rel

a_rel = - (α*r_ba) - (ω(ω•r_ba)) - (2ω*v_rel)

Plugging in the relevant values with their respective position vectors, we have;

a_rel = - (-0.008727k * -100j) - (0.01745k(0.01745k * -100j)) - (2*0.01745k * [-(2.711)i - (0.2588)j])

a_rel = 0.8727i - (0.01745² x 100)j + 0.0946j - 0.009i

Note that; k x j = - i and k x i = j

Thus,simplifying further ;

a_rel = 0.8637i + 0.0642j m/s²

qaws [65]

Answer: through digested food

Explanation: cells get their sugar molecules from the food that is taken in by an organism. The food taken in is digested by the stomach into base materials like sugar, fatty acids and amino acids. These base materials are circulated through the blood till they get to the cells where they are needed.
