Projectiles that strike objects are good examples of inelastic collisions. A 0.1 kg nail driven by a gas powered nail driver col

Ratling [72]

In an inelastic collision, only momentum is conserved, while energy is not conserved.

1) Velocity of the nail and the block after the collision
This can be found by using the total momentum after the collisions:
$p_f=(m+M)v_f=4.8 kg m/s$
where
m=0.1 kg is the mass of the nail
M=10 kg is the mass of the block of wood
Rearranging the formula, we find $v_f$ , the velocity of the nail and the block after the collision:
$v_f= \frac{p_f}{m+M}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg+10 kg}= 0.48 m/s$

2) The velocity of the nail before the collision can be found by using the conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision is given only by the nail (since the block is at rest), and it must be equal to the total momentum after the collision:
$p_i = mv_i = p_f$
Rearranging the formula, we can find $v_i$ , the velocity of the nail before the collision:
$v_i = \frac{p_f}{m}= \frac{4.8 kg m/s}{0.1 kg}=48 m/s$

For the PE formula, why is the height required for calculations? Why do we need to know the height in order to determine PE? *

Fudgin [204]

Answer:

Answer in Explanation

Explanation:

Whenever we talk about the gravitational potential energy, it means the energy stored in a body due to its position in the gravitational field. Now, we know that in the gravitational field the work is only done when the body moves vertically. If the body moves horizontally on the same surface in the Earth's Gravitational Field, then the work done on the body is considered to be zero. Hence, the work done or the energy stored in the object while in the gravitational field is only possible if it moves vertically. This vertical distance is referred to as height. <u>This is the main reason why we require height in the P.E formula and calculations.</u>

The derivation of this formula is as follows:

Work = Force * Displacement

For gravitational potential energy:

Work = P.E

Force = Weight = mg

Displacement = Vertical Displacement = Height = h

Therefore,

P.E = mgh

1. why is<br> experimentation so important to science

Alekssandra [29.7K]

Answer: to provide evidence to a theory

Explanation: Experimentation allows for multiple trials to provide evidence to a scientific theory. Without experimentation there would be no data to back up your hypothesis.
