Answer:
Answer E.
For a collision to be completely elastic, there must be NO LOSS in kinetic energy.
We can go through each answer choice:
A. Since the ball rebounds at half the initial speed, there is a loss in kinetic energy. This is NOT an elastic collision.
B. A collision involving sticking is an example of a perfectly INELASTIC collision. This is NOT an elastic collision.
C. A reduced speed indicates that there is a loss of kinetic energy. This is NOT elastic.
D. The balls traveling at half the speed after the collision indicates a loss of kinetic energy, making this collision NOT elastic.
E. This collision indicates an exchange of velocities, characteristic of an elastic collision. We can prove this:
Let:
m = mass of each ball
v = velocity
We have the initial kinetic energy as:
KE = \frac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=21mv2+0=21mv2
And the final as:
KE = 0 + \frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2KE=0+21mv2=21mv2
Answer:
all matter (everything) is made of the elements on the periodic table
Explanation:
Answer:
The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL
Explanation:
Based on Boyle's law, in a gas the volume is inversely proportional to its pressure when temperature remains constant. The equation is:
P₁V₁ = P₂V₂
<em>Where P is pressure and V volume of 1, intial state and 2, final state.</em>

Computing the values of the problem:
350mmHg*200mL = 555mmHgV₂
126.1mmHg = V₂
<h3>The final volume when pressure is changed is 126.1mL</h3>
Among solids, liquids, and gases, solids generally have the highest entropy because solid particles are the least mobile, and entropy is inversely related to mobility of particles.
