Answer:

Collisions are basically two types: Elastic, and inelastic collision. Elastic collision is defined as the colliding objects return quickly without undergoing any heat generation. Inelastic collision is defined as the where heat is generated, and colliding objects are distorted.

In elastic collision, the total kinetic energy, momentum are conserved, and there is no wasting of energy occurs. Swinging balls is the good example of elastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is not conserved it changes from one form to another for example thermal energy or sound energy. Automobile collision is good example, of inelastic collision.

A jet can travel the 6000 km distance between washington,
Andrei [34K]
<span> d = r*t is the basic distance equation
 d = 6000 km
 t with the tail wind = 6 hr
 r with the tail wind = speed of the plane + wind speed = s + w
 t with the head wind = 7.5 hr
 r with the head wind = speed of the plane - wind speed = s-w
 (s+w)*6 = 6000
 (s-w)*7.5 = 6000
 s + w = 1000
 s - w = 800
</span><span> 2s = 1800
 s = 900 km/h
 s + w = 1000
 w = 100
 Check the anwer by calculating the return trip.
 (900-100) * 7.5 = 800 * 7.5
 800 * 7.5 = 6000 km
 Answer: The rate of the jet in still air is 900 km/h. The rate of the wind is 100 km/hr.</span>

What happens when you get a concussion?
madreJ [45]
A concussion, which is a form of mild traumatic brain injury, occurs after a blow to the head. The brain is surrounded by fluid and protective membranes called meninges, which usually cushion the brain. During an impact, the brain is pushed against the inside of the skull and can be bruised.
