<span>An example of a perfectly elastic collision is that it doesn't exist. But for the sake of saying it exist you would assume that a collision takes place where energy is completely conserved and is not lost as (non-usable energy) heat. Maybe you say that a gas molecule collides with a completely (perfectly) smooth surface and the gas molecules collides perpendicular to the surface (does not collide at an angle). The gas molecule then bounces off the wall with the same speed as when it colliding against the wall. This would assume a perfectly elastic collision as KE=1/2mv^2. When your gas molecule collides its mass doesn't change but when you say that the gas molecule had the same velocity when it bounces off the wall you ahve assumed that kinetic energy is maintained (which assumes perfectly elastic).</span>

Answer:

comparing the anatomy of organisms

Explanation:

Basically, Rocks are the solid evidence used to date the earth.

Due to the changing in the genetic make up of organisms,the anatomy of organisms is not a reliable evidence to date the earth.

Write a hypothesis about the use of an object’s physical characteristics to determine its density. Use the format "if . . . then

mash [69]

For this case you must first know the definition of density.
D = m / v
where,
m: mass
v: volume.
You can then write the following hypothesis:
IF you know two physical characteristics of an object then you can determine the density. First weigh the object, THEN measure its volume BECAUSE the density is the quotient between the mass and the volume of an object.

alexira [117]

Answer:

explained

Explanation:

Yes, the heating of filament is what causes the light production (photon emission), and this heating is caused because of current in the light bulb

(H= i^2*R*t i=current, H= heat, t= time and R= resistance).But using constant current source is not a good idea because in constant current source resistance is very low that can cause short circuit and ultimately fusing it. Whereas in constant voltage source current adjusts itself and prevents fusing because of high resistance in the circuit.

Try and calm the child and say that you won't sit on Erin. If you tell the young girl that Erin isn't real at that age, they may have social issues later.

A 35 kg child goes down a playground that is inclined at an angle of 27.5 degrees above the horizontal. Find the acceleration if

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

4.16m/s²

Explanation:

According to Newtons second law;

$\sum Fx = ma_x\\Fm - Ff = ma_x\\W sin\theta - \mu R cos \theta = ma_x\\mg sin\theta - \mu mg cos\theta = ma_x\\$

Fm is the moving force

$\mu$ is the coefficient of kinetic friction between the child and the slide

m is the mass

g is the acceleration due to gravity

a is the acceleration of the child

Substitute the given values and get the acceleration as shown;

35(9.8)sin27.5 - 0.415(35)(cos27.5) = 35a

158.38-12.88 = 35a

145.49 = 35a

a = 145.49/35

a = 4.16m/s²

Hence the acceleration of the body is 4.16m/s²
