Answer:

inelastic collision

Explanation:

an elastic collision occurs when both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved, while during an inelastic collision only the total momentum is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In particular, if two objects stick together after the collision, only the momentum is conserved, so it is an inelastic collision.

In this problem, we have a girl that catches a ball and then continues together with the ball: the two 'objects' (girl and ball) stick together after the collision, so this is an inelastic collision.

two engines are turned on for 763 s at a moment when the velocity of the craft has x and y components of v0x = 6380 m/s and v0y
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given

initial velocity component of engines is

v_0_x=6380 m/s

v_0_y=6770 m/s

time period of engine running=763 s

Displacement in x=4.50\times 10^6

y=7.27\times 10^6

Using s=ut+\frac{at^2}{2} in x and y direction

x=v_0_x\times t+\frac{at^2}{2}

4.50\times 10^6=6380\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

4.50\times 10^6-4.86\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

a=-1.23 m/s^2

In y direction

y=v_0_y\times t+\frac{a't^2}{2}

7.27\times 10^6=6770\times 763+\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

7.27\times 10^6-5.16\times 10^6=\frac{a\times 763^2}{2}

a=7.24 m/s^2

x component=-1.23 m/s^2

y component=7.24 m/s^2

What is the mass amount of a Proton and a Neutron?
zysi [14]

The masses amount of a proton and neutron are 1.0087 and 1.0073 amu respectively.

<h3>What is a Proton?</h3>

This is defined as  sub atomic particle which is positively charged and is present in the nucleus while the neutron is also a particle present in the nucleus but has a neutral charge.

Electrons on the other hand are found outside the nucleus and are negatively charged. It is the sub atomic particle which is actively involved in a chemical reaction.

The masses of neutron and proton are 1.0087 and 1.0073 amu respectively and was discovered by scientists thereby making it the most appropriate choice.

a man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high. he throws a stone upward vertically with an intial velocity of 10 m/s
alex41 [277]

Answer:

h = 90.10 m

Explanation:

Given that,

A man is standing near the edge of a cliff 85 meters high, h₀ = 85 m

The initial speed of the stone, u = 10 m/s

The path followed by the projectile is given by :

h(t)=-4.9t^2+10t+85 ....(1)

For maximum height,

Put dh/dt = 0

So,

\dfrac{dh}{dt}=-9.8t+10=0\\\\t=\dfrac{10}{9.8}\\\\=1.02\ s

Put the value of t in equation (1).

h(t)=-4.9(1.02)^2+10(1.02)+85\\\\=90.10\ m

So, the maximum height of the stone is equal to 90.10 m.

A 40 Watt lightbulb is on for 3 minutes. How many joules of work does it do?
ella [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Power (p)= 40 watt

time (t)= 3 minutes = 180 seconds

Energy (E)= ?

we know

P = E/t

40 = E / 180

E = 7200 Joules

Therefore it does 7200 joules of work.

hope it helps :)
