Answer:

Option (1)

Explanation:

There are two types of collision.

1. Elastic collisions

2. Inelastic collisions

The conditions for elastic collisions are given below:

a. the momentum is conserved.

b. kinetic energy is conserved.

c. all the forces during the collision are conservative in nature.

The conditions for inelastic collisions are given below:

a. the momentum is conserved.

b. the mechanical energy is conserved.

c. all or some of the forces are non conservative in nature.

When the two glass marbles strikes and bounce off each other, the momentum and kinetic energy both are conserved so it is the example of elastic collision.

Elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. Two <span>glass marbles bounce off each other is an example of an elastic collision. Hope this answers the question.

When you are on a roller coaster, you are constantly transforming from Potential to Kinetic energy and back. Explain how these e

andreev551 [17]

Answer:

The two types of energy possessed by the roller coaster are:

- Potential energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its position. It is calculated as

$PE=mgh$

where

m is the mass of the roller coaster

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the roller coaster relative to the ground

- KInetic energy: it is the energy possessed by the roller coaster due to its motion. It is calculated as

$KE=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

where

v is the speed of the roller coaster

Moreover, according to the law of conservation of energy, the total mechanical energy of the roller coaster (the sum of potential+kinetic energy) is constant during the motion:

$E=PE+KE=const.$

This implies that:

- When PE increases (because h increases), KE decreases (because v decreases)

- When PE decreases (because h decreases), KE increases (because v increases)

Now we can apply these conclusions to the motion of the roller coaster:

- When it moves from A to B, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from B to C, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

- When it moves from C to D, potential energy is converted into kinetic energy, so PE decreases and KE increases

- When it moves from D to E, kinetic energy is converted into potential energy, so PE increases and KE decreases

Beryllium has a charge of 2, and bromine has a charge of –1. which is the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them?

Otrada [13]

The best name for the ionic bond that forms between them is Beryllium Bromide.

We have been provided with data,

Beryllium charge, q = 2

Bromine charge, q = -1

As we know the valance electron of Be is +2 and the valance electron of bromine is -1. Since one is metallic and the other is non-metallic.

Now, when they combine they exchange valance electron, and bromine change into bromide so they form Beryllium Bromide.

So, the best name for the ionic bond that forms between them is Beryllium Bromide.

The displacement of a 500 g mass, undergoing simple harmonic motion, is defined by the function :

Delicious77 [7]

The maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.

<h3>What is simple harmonic motion?</h3>

Simple harmonic motion, in physics, repetitive movement back and forth through an equilibrium, or central, position, so that the maximum displacement on one side of this position is equal to the maximum displacement on the other side.

Simple Harmonic Motion

The given equation of the simple harmonic motion is

$x=3.5 sin (\frac{\pi }{2t} + \frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Data;

ω = π/2

k = 1.254N/m

Solving this

$\frac{dx}{dt} = -3.5 X \frac{\pi }{2} cos (\frac{x\pi t}{2}+\frac{5\pi }{4} )$

Let's calculate the maximum velocity.

$V_{m} =\frac{3.5\pi }{2}$

This is only possible when cos θ = -1

The maximum kinetic energy is

$K_m =\frac{1}{2} mv^2 = \frac{1}{2} X \frac{500}{1000} X \frac{7^2\pi ^2}^{4} ^2$

$w^2 = \frac{k}{m} \\k = w^2m\\k = \frac{\pi ^2}{4} X \frac{500}{1000} \\k =1.254 N/m$

Using the value of spring constant, we can find the maximum potential energy.

$P.E =\frac{1}{2} k x^2\\P.E =\frac{1}{2} X 1.234 X 3.5^2 \\P.E = 7.56 J$

The maximum potential energy is 7.56J

The maximum mechanical energy is equal to the sum of maximum potential energy and the maximum kinetic energy.

ME = K.E + P.E

ME = 7.56J

From the calculations above, the maximum kinetic energy, maximum potential energy and the maximum mechanical energy are equal to 7.56J.
