Options:
(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.
(c) Both A and B are true.
(d) Neither A nor B are true.
Answer:
(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.
Explanation:
An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.
In an inelastic collision:
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.
Answer:
Now, think on the electrons flowing through a conductor (we can think on the resistor as a simple conductor, like a piece of metal)
Inside the conductor, we have some "fixed" (they do not flow with the current) electrons, such that as the current flows in the conductor, the flowing electrons can interact with the fixed ones in the conductor. Then we can have collisions inside the conductor.
In those collisions, the flowing electrons leave energy in the conductor, and as we know, heat is a form of energy. Then when we have a lot of these collisions, the temperature of the conductor increases.
That is why electronic devices get hot.
Also, as the temperature of a conductor increases, the electrons inside of it start to move more, then the probability of an interaction with the flowing electrons increases.
So, using the periodic table of elements, we know that the atomic number of sulfur is 16, which stands for the number of protons/electrons in the atom. Since the mass number, in this case is 34, is the sum of protons and neutrons, all we have to do is subtract 16 from 34, which will give us 18, the number of neutrons for this isotope of sulfur. :)
Answer:
When a bee stings, it injects methanoic acid into the skin which causes immense pain and irritation. Rubbing of baking soda on the sting area gives relief because, being alkaline in nature, baking soda neutralizes the effect of methanoic acid and gives relief.
