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 210 Ohm resistor uses 9.28 W of

IgorLugansk [536]

Resistance=R=210Ohm
Power=9.28W=P

Current=I

$\boxed{\sf P=I^2R}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2=\dfrac{P}{R}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2=\dfrac{9.28}{210}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I^2\approx0.04$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\sqrt{0.04}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\sqrt{\dfrac{4}{100}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\dfrac{\sqrt{4}}{\sqrt{100}}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx\dfrac{2}{10}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto I\approx0.2A$

A sock stuck to the inside of the clothes dryer spins around the drum once every 2.0 s at a distance of 0.50 m from the center o

Rashid [163]

a) 1.57 m/s

The sock spins once every 2.0 seconds, so its period is

T = 2.0 s

Therefore, the angular velocity of the sock is

$\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}=\frac{2\pi}{2.0}=3.14 rad/s$

The linear speed of the sock is given by

$v=\omega r$

where

$\omega$ is the angular velocity

r = 0.50 m is the radius of the circular path of the sock

Substituting, we find:

$v=(3.14)(0.50)=1.57 m/s$

B) Faster

In this case, the drum is twice as wide, so the new radius of the circular path of the sock is twice the previous one:

$r' = 2r = 1.00 m$

At the same time, the drum spins at the same frequency as before, therefore the angular frequency as not changed:

$\omega' = \omega = 3.14 rad/s$

Therefore, the new linear speed would be:

$v'=\omega' r' = \omega (2r)$

And substituting,

$v'=(3.14)(1.00)=3.14 rad/s = 2v$

So, we see that the linear speed has doubled.

Why is Earth’s North Pole a geographic north pole but a south seeking pole magnetically?

natima [27]

Answer:It is actually the South Magnetic pole

Explanation:The magnetic pole near earth's geographic north pole is actually the south magnetic pole. When it comes to magnets, opposites attract. This fact means that the north end of a magnet in a compass is attracted to the south magnetic pole, which lies close to the geographic north pole.
