Answer:
A and C is about 12 cm away from each other.
Explanation:
This question is asking you to determine if individual atoms or systems, or both have these types of energy. A system would be "all the molecules or atoms" whereas an individual atom is "each of the molecules or atoms."
Answers:
A. All the molecules or atoms in motion have kinetic energy.
B. Each molecule or atom in motion has kinetic energy.
D. All the molecules or atoms in motion have thermal energy.
The only incorrect answer is C because individual atoms don't have thermal energy, only when they interact with other atoms. Still, atoms do have kinetic energy, which has the potential to turn into heat energy in these interactions.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 
and the kinetic energy is 
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is , but the kinetic energy is reduced to 
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
v = v₀ + at
v = final speed, v₀ = initial speed, a = acceleration, t = elapsed time
Given values:
v₀ = 0m/s (starts from rest), a = 9.81m/s², t = 3s
Plug in and solve for v:
v = 0 + 9.81(3)
v = 29.4m/s
