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

A cubic metal box with sides of 17 cm contains air at a pressure of 1 atm and a temperature of 278 K. The box is sealed so that

const2013 [10]

Answer:

F = 3.98 kN

Explanation:

GIVEN DATA:

sides of box = 17 cm

pressure = 1 atm = 101325 N/m2

T2 = 378K

T1 = 278 K

final pressure can be calculate by using below relation

$\frac{P_{1}}{P_{2}}=\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}$

we know that

force = pressure * area

therefore force is

$F =(\frac{T_{1}}{T_{2}}*P_{1})A$

$F =(\frac{378}{278}*101325)(17*10^{-2})^{2}$

F = 3.98 kN
