The  cause of erosion is Erosion is the process by which the surface of the Earth gets worn down. Erosion can be caused<span> by natural elements such as wind or  glacial ice. 

It can be prevented by [</span><span>use land according to its capability.protect the soil surface with some form of cover.<span>control runoff before it develops into an erosive force.</span></span>

A solid cylinder with a mass of 2.72 kg and a radius of 0.083 m starts from rest at a height of 4.20 m and rolls down a 88.7 ◦ s
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of energy ,    

             Potential energy = kinetic energy

   mgh = \frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2} + \frac{1}{2} \times I \times \omega^{2}

                  I = \frac{mr^{2}}{2}

          \omega = \frac{v}{r}

     mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{2} \times (\frac{mr^{2}}{2}) \frac{v^{2}}{r^{2}}]

     mgh = [\frac{1}{2} \times mv^{2}] + [\frac{1}{4} \times mv^{2}]

             g \times h = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}

             9.8 \times 4.2 = \frac{3}{4} \times v^{2}

                  v = 7.4 m/s

thus, we can conclude that the translational speed of the cylinder when it leaves the incline is 7.4 m/s.

A 66-kg fellow stands on a digital scale in an elevator that accelerates upwards from rest to 4.5 m/s in 2.00 s. show answer Inc
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

mass of the fellow ( m ) = 66kg

acceleration of fellow a

v = u + at

4.5 = 0 + a x 2

a = 4.5 /2

= 2.25 m / s²

Net force acting on fellow in upward direction by the surface of  elevator

R - mg where R is reaction force of the surface of the elevator

Applying Newton's law of motion

R - mg = ma

R = m (g +a )

= 66 x ( 9.8 + 2 )

= 778.8 N

This will be the scale reading .

Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision
Ivan

Answer:

<u>Inelastic collision:</u>

A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.

<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>

  • <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
  • <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>

<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>

<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.

<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

  • <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
  • <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:

<u>Given examples:</u>

  • Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

  • A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>
