What is the difference between an elastic and inelastic collision

Physics
1 answer:
barxatty [35]3 years ago

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.

KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

Explanation:

The cannonball goes a horizontal  distance of 275 m . It travels a vertical distance of 100 m

Time taken to cover vertical distance =  t ,

Initial velocity u = 0

distance s = 100 m

acceleration a = 9.8 m /s²

s = ut + 1/2 g t²

100 = .5 x 9.8 x t²

t = 4.51 s

During this time it travels horizontally also uniformly so

horizontal velocity Vx = horizontal displacement / time

= 275 / 4.51 = 60.97 m /s

Vertical velocity Vy

Vy = u + gt

= 0 + 9.8 x 4.51

= 44.2 m /s

Resultant velocity

V = √ ( 44.2² + 60.97² )

= √ ( 1953.64 + 3717.34 )

= 75.3 m /s

Angle with horizontal Ф

TanФ = Vy / Vx

= 44.2 / 60.97

= .725

Ф = 36⁰ .

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

The answer is "\boxed{\boxed{\omega = \sqrt{\frac{2fd}{kmr^2}}}}"

Explanation:

\to d= r \theta \\\\ \to \theta =\frac{d}{r}\\\\\to \omega^{r} - \omega_{0}^{r} = 2 \alpha \theta\\\\\to \omega^{r} = 2 \alpha \theta    - \omega_{0}^{r} \\\\\to \omega^{r} = 2  (\frac{F}{Kmr}) \frac{d}{r}\\\\\to \omega = \sqrt{\frac{2fd}{kmr^2}}
