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 crowbar of 2 meter is used to lift an object of 800N if the effort arm is 160cm , calculste the effort applied
Vitek1552 [10]

Answer:

200 N

Explanation:

The crowbar is 2 meter, or 200 cm.  The effort arm is 160 cm, so the moment arm of the object is 40 cm.

(800 N) (40 cm) = F (160 cm)

F = 200 N

a tractor pulls a wagon from rest with a constant force of 700 N eventually giving the wagon a speed of 20 km/h. how much work i
Semenov [28]


Work = Force × distance

We need to calculate distance travelled.

20km/hr = 20,000m / 60min  → 333.3m/ min

333.3 × 3.5 min = 1,166.6 meters travelled

Force = 700 N  and distance = 1,166.6 m

Work done is  700 N × 1,666.6 =  816,620 Nm

Power output = work /time

Power output is 816, 620 Nm / (3.5 × 60sec) →816, 620 / 210 = 3,888.7

Power output is 3,888.7 Watts.

Power output can also be expressed in joules per second so it is also correct to  say work done is 3,888.7 J/s

A wave has a frequency of 2 Hz. How many waves are produced in one minute?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

2 Hz, means 2 complete waves are produced in one second, so

2 waves ----- 1 second

2 x 60 -------1 x 60

120 waves ------60 seconds

hope this helps,
