The coefficient of the restitution of an object is defined as the ratio of its outgoing to incoming speed when the object collid

es with a rigid surface. For an object with a coefficient of 0.72, what fraction of the object's kinetic energy is lost during a single collision?

Answer:

48.16 %

Explanation:

coefficient of restitution = 0.72

let the incoming speed be = u

let the outgoing speed be = v

kinetic energy = 0.5 x mass x x velocity^{2}

  • incoming kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x x u^{2}

     

  •  coefficient of restitution =\frac{v}{u}

       0.72 =\frac{v}{u}

       v = 0.72u

        therefore the outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x (0.72u)^{2}

        outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5 x m x 0.5184 x u^{2}

        outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 (0.5 x m x x u^{2})

recall that 0.5 x m x x u^{2} is our incoming kinetic energy, therefore

outgoing kinetic energy = 0.5184 x (incoming kinetic energy)

from the above we can see that the outgoing kinetic energy is 51.84 % of the incoming kinetic energy.

The energy lost would be 100 - 51.84 = 48.16 %

Wha is the frequency of a wave having a period equal to 18 seconds?
Rainbow [258]

Answer:

5.5 × 10-2 hertz

Explanation:

The time taken by a wave crest to travel a distance equal to the length of wave is known as wave period.

= 0.055 per second          (1 cycle per second = 1 Hertz)

Thus, we can conclude that the frequency of the wave is 5.5 X 10^{-2} hertz.

Hopes this helps, love <3
