Answer:

Inelastic collisions actually do conserve energy, but the loss of energy to heat and mechanical vibration is hard to calculate so the math equating energy before and energy after is hard to balance.

<u>Answer:</u>

The law of conservation of energy is difficult to use for calculate the

effects of a collision because of energy loss

<u>Explanation:</u>

We know that Collisions are of two types which is elastic and inelastic. The Law of Conservation of energy can be defined as in isolated system the total energy is said to remain constant and stays conserved over time can be applied on elastic collisions only as they don't lose energy and can not be applied on inelastic collisions due to energy loss in them due to heat and mechanical vibration. Hence, law of conservation of energy can not be used to calculate effects of collision

jonny [76]

Answer:

1170 m

Explanation:

Given:

a = 3.30 m/s²

v₀ = 0 m/s

v = 88.0 m/s

x₀ = 0 m

Find:

v² = v₀² + 2a(x - x₀)

(88.0 m/s)² = (0 m/s)² + 2 (3.30 m/s²) (x - 0 m)

x = 1173.33 m

Rounded to 3 sig-figs, the runway must be at least 1170 meters long.

A weight of 1400 pounds is suspended from two cables as shown in the figure. What is the tension in the left cable? _________ po

juin [17]

Answer:

Following are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Law:

$\to \theta= 180^{\circ}- 50^{\circ}- 25^{\circ}$

$= 180^{\circ}- 75^{\circ}\\\\= 105^{\circ}$

$\to \frac{T_{L}}{\sin (90+50)}= \frac{T_{R}}{\sin (25+90)}=\frac{1400}{\sin (105)}$

$\to T_L=931.65 \ pounds \\\\ \to T_R=1313.59 \ pounds \\\\$

Someone help please by providing work and answers please :)

Nastasia [14]

First we gotta use an equation of motion:

$d = ut + \frac{1}{2} a {t}^{2}$

Our vertical distance d= 100 m, initial vertical speed u = 0 m/s (because velocity is fully horizontal), and vertical acceleration a = 9.8 m/s2 because of gravity. Let's plug it all in!

$100 = 0 + \frac{1}{2} (9.8) {t}^{2}$

Now we just need to solve for t:

${t}^{2} = \frac{2(100)}{9.8} \\ \\ t = \sqrt{\frac{2(100)}{9.8}}$

Hit the calculators, and you'll get 4.5 seconds!

A rabbit is hopping along at an approximately constant speed of 3.9 m/s. The rabbit passes a crouched cat ready to chase the rab

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

t = 7,8 s

Explanation:

From the instant, the rabbit passes the cat. The cat star running acceleration of 0,5 m/s² .

When the cat arrives at the speed of 3,9 m/s the cat catches the rabbit

Then for the cat arrives at 3,9 m/s nedds

v = vo + a*t vo = 0 then v = a*t

3,9 ( m/s) = 0,5 ( m/s² ) * t

t = 7,8 s

v = 3,9 m/s =
