Distinguish between an elastic and an inelastic collision.

Physics
1 answer:
erik [133]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Elastic and Inelastic Collisions. A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision.

A student wants to create a 6.0V DC battery from a 1.5V DC battery. Can this be done using a transformer alone
shusha [124]

Answer:

Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.

Explanation:

A transformer, alone, can not be used to convert a DC voltage to another DC voltage. If we apply a DC voltage to the primary coil of the transformer, it will act as short circuit due to low resistance. It will cause overflow of current through winding, resulting in overheating pf the transformer.

Hence, the transformer only take AC voltage as an input, and converts it to another AC voltage. So, the output voltage of a transformer is also AC voltage.

So, in order to convert a 6 V DC to 1.5 V DC we need an inverter to convert 6 V DC to AC, then a step down transformer to convert it to 1.5 V AC, and finally a rectifier to convert 1.5 V AC to 1.5 V DC.

<u>Therefore, we need an invert, and a rectifier, along with the transformer to do the job.</u>

A woman with a mass of 52.0 kg is standing on the rim of a large disk that is rotating at an angular velocity of 0.470 rev/s abo
Charra [1.4K]

Explanation:

It is given that,

Mass of the woman, m₁ = 52 kg

Angular velocity, \omega=0.47\ rev/s=2.95\ rad/s

Mass of disk, m₂ = 118 kg

Radius of the disk, r = 3.9 m

The moment of inertia of woman which is standing at the rim of a large disk is :

I={m_1r^2}

I={52\times 3.9^2}

I₁ = 790.92 kg-m²

The moment of inertia of of the disk about an axis through its center is given by :

I_2=\dfrac{m_2r^2}{2}

I_2=\dfrac{118\times (3.9)^2}{2}

I₂ =897.39 kg-m²

Total moment of inertia of the system is given by :

I=I_1+I_2

I=790.92+897.39

I = 1688.31 kg-m²

The angular momentum of the system is :

L=I\times \omega

L=1688.31 \times 2.95

L=4980.5\ kg-m^2/s

So, the total angular momentum of the system is 4980.5 kg-m²/s. Hence, this is the required solution.

When responding to sound, the human eardrum vibrates about its equilibrium position. Suppose an eardrum is vibrating with an amp
Paraphin [41]

Answer:

796.18 Hz

Explanation:

Applying,

Maximum velocity = Amplitude×Angular velocity

Therefore,

V' = A(2πf)............... Equation 1

Where V' = maximum velocity of the eardrum, A = Amplitude of vibration of the eardrum, f = frequency of the eardrum vibration, π = pie

make f the subject of the equation

f = V'/2πA................ Equation 2

From the question,

Given: V' = 3.6×10⁻³ m/s, A' = 7.2×10⁻⁷ m,

Constant: 3.14.

Substitute these values into equation 2

f = 3.6×10⁻³/( 7.2×10⁻⁷×2×3.14)

f = 796.18 Hz

Objects appear different in size and shape in a container of water due to
o-na [289]

Answer:

A. refraction of light waves

Explanation:

Refraction happens when light travels from one medium to another and changes speed and bends. This also causes objects to look different sizes and shapes when they are submerged in water.
