Answer:

false

Explanation:

Elastic collision: the collision is said to be elastic if the kinetic energy is conserved during the collision.

If the kinetic energy is not conserved, then the collision is not elastic.

So, here no information is given so we cant say about the type of collision.

So, it is False.

What is the average power supplied by a 60.0 kg secretary running up a flight of stairs rising vertically 4.0 m in 4.2 s?
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

9.8kW

Explanation:

Given data

Mass= 60kg

Hieght= 4m

Time= 4.2seconds

We know that the energy possessed is given as

PE=mgh

PE=60*9.81*4

PE= 2354.4 Joulse

Also, the expression for power is

Power=Energy*Time

Power= 2354.4*4.2

Power=9888.48 watt

Power= 9.8kW

A car travels along a clear 10.0 km section of motorway in 6.0 minutes. It then drives through 3.0 km of roadwork in 3.0 minutes
Charra [1.4K]
  • 6min=1/10h=0.1h
  • 3min=1/20h=0.05h

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{Total\:Displacement}{Total\:Time}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{10+3}{0.1+0.05}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=\dfrac{13}{0.15}

\\ \bull\tt\dashrightarrow Avg\:Speed=86.6km/h

A layer of oil (n = 1.38) floats on an unknown liquid. A ray of light originates in the oil and passes into the unknown liquid.
Vinil7 [7]

Answer:

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

Explanation:

Using Snell's law as:

n_i\times {sin\theta_i}={n_r}\times{sin\theta_r}

Where,  

{\theta_i}  is the angle of incidence  ( 65.0° )

{\theta_r} is the angle of refraction  ( 53.0° )

{n_r} is the refractive index of the refraction medium  (unknown liquid, n=?)

{n_i} is the refractive index of the incidence medium (oil, n=1.38)

Hence,  

1.38\times {sin65.0^0}={n_r}\times{sin53.0^0}

Solving for {n_r},

Refractive index of unknown liquid = 1.56

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of
Georgia [21]

Answer: Velocity terminal = 0.093m/s

Explanation:

1. We start by evaluating the gap distance between the two cylinders as h = R(sleeve) - R(cylinder)

= (0.0604/2 - 0.06/2)m

= 2×10^-4

Surface are of the cylinder in the drop, which is required in order to evaluate the shearing stress can be expressed as A(cylinder) = π.d.L

= (π×0.06×0.4)m²

= 0.075m²

Since the force of the cylinder's weight is going to balance the shearing force on the walls, we can express the next equation and derive terminal velocity from it.

Shearing stress = u×V.terminal/h = 0.86×V/0.0002

= 4300Vterminal

Therefore, Fw = shearing stress × A

30N = 4300Vterminal × 0.075

V. terminal = 30/4300 m.s

V. terminal = 0.093m/s
