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.

I hope this helps! <3

A block of amber is placed in water and a laser beam travels from the water through the amber. The angle of incidence is 35 degr

7nadin3 [17]

Answer: 1.88

Explanation

Applying Snell’s Law, sin(1)/sin(2) = n(2)/n(1), where n is the index of refraction and sin 1 and 2 being of incidence and refracted respectively.

1) sin35/sin24 = n(2)/1.33
2) 1.41 = n(2)/1.33
3) n(2) = 1.41 x 1.33
4) n(2) = 1.88

Hope this helps :)

How does what happens to the particles in a substance during melting differ from what happens during freezing?

sasho [114]

When in the melting process particles start to move more freely when in the freezing process particles tend to slow and vibrate in place

A solid conducting sphere with radius R that carries positive charge Q is concentric with a very thin insulating shell of radius

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

The specific question is not stated, however the general idea is given in the attached picture. The electric field in each region can be found by Gauss’ Law.

at r < R:

Since the solid sphere is conducting, the total charge Q is distributed over the surface, and the electric field inside the sphere is zero.

E = 0.

at R < r < 2R:

The electric field can be found by Gauss’ Law as in the attachment. The green pencil shows this exact region.

at 2R < r:

The electric field can again be found by Gauss’ Law, the blue pencil shows the calculations for this region.

Explanation:

Gauss’ Law is straightforward when applied to spheres. The area of the sphere is $A = 4\pi r^2$ , and the enclosed charge is given in the question as Q for the inner sphere, and 2Q for the whole system.
