Which are examples of perfectly in elastic collisions

1 answer:

8 0

Typical examples of inelastic collision are between cars, airlines, trains, etc.
For instance, when two trains collide, the kinetic energy of each train is transformed into heat, which explains why, most of the times, there is a fire after a collision. However, the momentum of the two trains that are involved in the collision remains unaffected. So, the trains collide with all their speed, maintaining their momentum, yet their kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy.
Another way to explain a train or a car collision is this: when the two trains or cars collide, they stick together while slowing down. They slow down because their kinetic energy is gradually lost. Still, they collide because they conserve their momentum.

An ice cube of mass 50.0 g can slide without friction up and down a 25.0 degree slope. The ice cube is pressed against a spring

lozanna [386]

Answer:

0.6 m

Explanation:

When a spring is compressed it stores potential energy. This energy is:

Ep = 1/2 * k * x^2

Being x the distance it compressed/stretched.

When the spring bounces the ice cube back it will transfer that energy to the cube, it will raise up the slope, reaching a high point where it will have a speed of zero and a potential energy equal to what the spring gave it.

The potential energy of the ice cube is:

Ep = m * g * h

This is vertical height and is related to the distance up the slope by:

sin(a) = h/d

h = sin(a) * d

Replacing:

Ep = m * g * sin(a) * d

Equating both potential energies:

1/2 * k * x^2 = m * g * sin(a) * d

d = (1/2 * k * x^2) / (m * g * sin(a))

d= (1/2 * 25 * 0.1^2) / (0.05 * 9.81 * sin(25)) = 0.6 m

A wave pulse traveling to the right along a thin cord reaches a discontinuity where the rope becomes thicker and heavier. What i

Talja [164]

Answer:

the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

Explanation:

To answer this question we must analyze the physical phenomenon, with an wave reaching a discontinuity, we can analyze it as a shock.

Let's start when the discontinuity is with a fixed, very heavy and rigid obstacle, in this case the reflected wave is inverted, since the contact point cannot move

In the event that it collides with an object that can move, the reflected wave is not inverted, this is because the point can rise, they form a maximum at this point.

In the proposed case the shock is when the thickness changes, in this case we have the above phenomena, a part of the wave is reflected by being inverted and a part of the wave is transmitted without inverting.

The amplitude sum of the amplitudes of the two waves is proportional to the lanería that is distributed between them.

When checking the answers the correct one is the reflected wave is inverted and the transmitted wave is up

madam [21]

The freezing point of the water is 0 C , and it equals to 273 K

Then, To convert from Kelvins degrees to Celsius degrees we use the relation

$K = C + 273$

Also,

billiardballsnew2 A white billiard ball with mass mw = 1.49 kg is moving directly to the right with a speed of v = 3.09 m/s and

Kobotan [32]

Answer:

Final velocity of white ball is 0m/s

Final velocity of black ball is 3.09m/s

Explanation:

An elastic collision is one that conserves internal kinetic energy

An internal kinetic energy is the sum of kinetic energies of objects in the system

Initial kinetic energy of white ball is Vi1 = 3.09m/s

Final kinetic energy of white ball is Vf1 = ?

Initial kinetic energy of black ball is Vi2 = 0m/s

Final kinetic energy of black ball is Vf2 = ?

m1 = 1.49kg mass of white ball

m2 = 1.49kg mass of black ball

The formula to calculate internal kinetic energy is

1/2m1Vf1^2 + 1/2m2Vf2^2 = 1/2m1Vi1^2

Solving the equation

1.Vf1 = (m1 - m2)Vi1/m1+m2

Vf1 = (1.49-1.49)*3.09/1.49+1/49

Vf1 = 0m/s

2. Vf2 = 2m1Vi1/m1+m2

Vf2 = 2*1.49*3.09/1.49+1.49

Vf2 = 3.09m/s

N:B following the general principle of collision when 2 bodies of same masses collide in elastic collision they exchange velocities.
