Answer:
Time taken for the car to travel a distance of 4.50 m = 1.40 seconds
Explanation:
velocity of toy car = 3.21 m/s
distance travelled by toy car = 4.50 m
Time = ?
Therefore, the time taken for the car to travel a distance of 4.50 m = 1.40 seconds
Answer: gravitational potential energy
Explanation:
Gravitational potential energy is refered to as the potential energy that an object has due to its gravitational field, which in turn is being turned into a kinetic energy when there is a fall of such objects.
Since Johanna is studying what happens to the energy as a ball rolls down a ramp, the form of energy here is the gravitational potential energy.
Angular acceleration = (change in angular speed) / (time for the change)
Change in angular speed = (ending speed) minus (starting speed)
Change in angular speed = (16 rad/s) - (zero) = 16 rad/s .
Angular acceleration = (16 rad/s) / (0.4 s)
(Average) angular acceleration = 40 rad/s²
Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
Answer:
Only a backward force is acting, no forward force.
Explanation:
- Once released from the initial push, in absence of friction, the shopping cart would continue moving forward at a constant speed forever.
- As it would move at a constant speed, no net force would be acting on it.
- So, if it is gradually slowing, there must be a net force producing an acceleration in a direction opposite to the movement.
- This force is the kinetic friction force, and is the only force acting on the cart in the horizontal direction.
- As any friction force, opposes to the relative movement between the cart and the horizontal floor, which means that is directed backward.
- This is consistent with the direction of the acceleration of the cart.
