Two pucks collide with each other. after the collision they do not stick together. is kinetic energy conserved in the collision?

Since they do not stick after collision hence collision is elastic. In elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy is conserved because in this type of collision, first body deforms but then quickly regains its former shape and transfers its kinetic energy to the second pluck.
So kinetic energy is conserved.

A jet ski accelerates towards a ramp at 2.5 m/s/s for 35 s until it finally flies off the water. Determine the

zlopas [31]

Answer:

1531 m

Explanation:

The motion of the jet ski is an uniformly accelerated motion, so we can find the distance travelled by using the following suvat equation:

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2$

where

s is the distance

u is the initial velocity

t is the time

a is the acceleration

For the jet ski in this problem,

$a=2.5 m/s^2$

t = 35 s

u = 0 (it starts from rest)

Solving for s, we find the distance travelled:

$d=0+\frac{1}{2}(2.5)(35)^2=1531 m$

A wave with a frequency of 325 Hz. is travelling at a speed of 125 m/s. What is the wavelength of this wave?

ollegr [7]

Answer:

0.385 meters

Explanation:

Just remember this very simple equation:

velocity=(wavelength)*(frequency)

I always remember it as "Velma is Waving Frantically"

So, 125=(wavelength)*(325)

Therefore, wavelength=0.385 meters!

Hope this helped!

Is there gravitational force between two students sitting in a classroom?

drek231 [11]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation: the magnitude of the force is extremely small because the masses of the students are small relative to Earth's mass.

Uphill escape ramps are sometimes provided to the side of steep downhill highways for trucks with overheated brakes. For a simpl

o-na [289]

Answer:

404.4 m

Explanation:

Converting the initial speed from km/h to m/s then

$140\times \frac {1000m}{3600s}=38.88888889 m/s \approx 38.89 m/s$

The acceleration is resolved as shown in the figure hence

deceleration of the truck along the inclined plane will be

$a=-g sin \theta$ where g is acceleration due to gravity

Substituting g with $9.81 m/s^{2}$ then

$a=-9.81 m/s^{2} sin 11^{\circ}=-1.871836245\approx -1.87 m/s^{2}$

Using kinematic equation

$v^{2}=u^{2}+2as$ and making s the subject then

$s=\frac {v^{2}-u^{2}}{2a}$ where v and u are final and initial velocities respectively

Substituting 0 for v, 38.89 m/s for u and $-1.87 m/s^{2}$ then

$s=\frac {0^{2}-38.89^{2}}{2\times -1.87}=404.3936096 m\approx 404.4 m$
