Are momentum and kinetic energy conserved during an inelastic collision?

Energy and momentum are always conserved. Kinetic energy is not conserved in an inelastic collision though. And that is because it is converted to another form of energy

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is. (a) How m
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

a. 5 × 10¹⁹ protons b. 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

Explanation:

Here is the complete question

A beam of protons is moving toward a target in a particle accelerator. This beam constitutes a current whose value is 0.42 A. (a) How many protons strike the target in 19 seconds? (b) Each proton has a kinetic energy of 6.0 x 10-12 J. Suppose the target is a 17-gram block of metal whose specific heat capacity is 860 J/(kg Co), and all the kinetic energy of the protons goes into heating it up. What is the change in temperature of the block at the end of 19 s?

Solution

a.

i = Q/t = ne/t

n = it/e where i = current = 0.42 A, n = number of protons, e = proton charge = 1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C and t = time = 19 s

So n = 0.42 A × 19 s/1.602 × 10⁻¹⁹ C

       = 4.98 × 10¹⁹ protons

       ≅ 5 × 10¹⁹ protons

b

The total kinetic energy of the protons = heat change of target

total kinetic energy of the protons = n × kinetic energy per proton

                                                         = 5 × 10¹⁹ protons × 6.0 × 10⁻¹² J per proton

                                                         = 30 × 10⁷ J

heat change of target = Q = mcΔT ⇒ ΔT = Q/mc where m = mass of block = 17 g = 0.017 kg and c = specific heat capacity = 860 J/(kg °C)

ΔT = Q/mc = 30 × 10⁷ J/0.017 kg × 860 J/(kg °C)

     = 30 × 10⁷/14.62

     = 2.05 × 10⁷ °C

A particle of mass M moves along a straight line with initial speed vi. A force of magnitude F pushes the particle a distance D
RideAnS [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

Initial kinetic energy of M = 1/2 M vi²

let final velocity be vf

v² = u² + 2a s

vf² =  vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

Kinetic energy

= 1/2 Mvf²

= 1/2 M ( vi² + 2 (F / M) x D

1/2 M vi² + FD

Ratio with initial value

1/2 M  vi² + FD) / 1/2 M  vi²

RK = 1 + FD / 2 M  vi²

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?
Nataliya [291]

What is the weight of a 4.2 kg bowling ball on Mars?

Answer:

1.59 kg

Explanation:

The formula is:

<u>F = G((Mm)/r2) </u>

F is the gravitational force between two objects,

G is the Gravitational Constant (6.674×10-11 Newtons x meters2 / kilograms2),

M is the planet's mass (kg),

m is your mass (kg), and

r is the distance (m) between the centers of the two masses (the planet's radius).

Hope this helps

Suppose that you are standing on a train accelerating at 0.20g. What minimum coefficient of static friction must exist between y
Ilia_Sergeevich [38]
Acceleration = (0.2 x g) = 1.96m/sec^2. 
<span>Accelerating force on 1kg. = (ma) = 1.96N. </span>
<span>1kg. has a weight (normal force) of 9.8N. </span>
<span>Coefficient µ = 1.96/9.8 = 0.2 minimum. </span>

<span>Coefficient is a ratio, so holds true for any value of mass to find accelerating force acting. </span>
<span>e.g. 75kg = (75 x g) = 735N. </span>
<span>Accelerating force = (735 x 0.2) = 147N</span>
