Answer:
In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.
Explanation:
There are two types of collisions:
- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.
- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)
Answer:
Like charges repel
Different charges attract
Explanation:
When particles of similar charges are brought together, they repel each other and increase the distance of separation. Repulsion occurs because both two electrons have negative electrical charge forcing their lines of force to repel. However, when particles of opposite charges are brought nearer to each other, they attract each other and reduce the distance of separation.
Eris is slightly more massive than Pluto. However, both of them are smaller than Earth's Moon.
This should conclude that Eris is a dwarf planet.
