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).
Answer:
f3 = 102 Hz
Explanation:
To find the frequency of the sound produced by the pipe you use the following formula:
n: number of the harmonic = 3
vs: speed of sound = 340 m/s
L: length of the pipe = 2.5 m
You replace the values of n, L and vs in order to calculate the frequency:
hence, the frequency of the third overtone is 102 Hz
<span>The correct answer is B - Light can travel in a vacuum, and its speed is constant if the source is moving or stationary.</span>
Answer:
3.185×10^-29 kgm/s
Explanation:
Momentum(p)=mass×velocity
=9.1×10^-31×3.5×10
=3.185×10^-29 kgm/s
Answer:
8.3m/s
Explanation:
Given parameters:
mass of clay ball = 5kg
Speed of clay ball = 25m/s
mass of clay ball at rest = 10kg
speed of clay ball at rest = 0m/s
Unknown:
Velocity after collision = ?
Solution:
Since the balls stick together, this is an inelastic collision:
m1v1 + m2v2 = v(m1 + m2)
5(25) + 10(0) = v (5 + 10)
125 = 15v
v = 8.3m/s
