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.

Rudik [331]

Answer: if the mass is doubled, the force of gravity is doubled, meaning it decreases. If the distance is doubled, the force of gravity is 1/4 as strong as before

A .422 kg coffee mug rests on a table top 0.63 m above the floor. What is the potential energy of the mug with respect to the fl

kondaur [170]

Answer:

2.61 J

Explanation:

Since potential energy U = mgy where m = mass of object, g = acceleration due to gravity = 9.8 m/s² and y = height of object above the ground.

Now for the coffee mug, m= 0.422 kg and it is 0.63 m on a table, so it is 0.63 m above the ground. Thus, y = 0.63 m.

We compute U

U = mgy

= 0.422 kg × 9.8 m/s² × 0.63 m

= 2.605 J

≅ 2.61 J

So, the potential energy of the mug with respect to the floor is 2.61 J

A power plant produces 1000 MW to supply a city 40 km away. Current flows from the power plant on a single wire of resistance 0.

nikitadnepr [17]

Answer:

Current = 8696 A

Fraction of power lost = $\dfrac{80}{529}$ = 0.151

Explanation:

Electric power is given by

$P=IV$

where I is the current and V is the voltage.

$I=\dfrac{P}{V}$

Using values from the question,

$I=\dfrac{1000\times10^6 \text{ W}}{115\times10^3\text{ V}} = 8696 \text{ A}$

The power loss is given by

$P_\text{loss} = I^2R$

where R is the resistance of the wire. From the question, the wire has a resistance of $0.050\Omega$ per km. Since resistance is proportional to length, the resistance of the wire is
