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

Does a physicist studies cells and life cycles?

zepelin [54]

Hey there!

No, that would be a biologist. Biologists study biology, or life. They're focused on life cycles, cells, evolution, and so much more.

Physicists focus on physics. They learn about forces, motion, and the study of the universal forces like gravity, momentum, and speed. Just like mathematics, they study patterns and look for new discoveries to be found in the fields of science, physics, and even mathematics.

Hope this helps!

Una patinadora de 50 kg parte del reposo y después de recorrer 3k alcanza una velocidad de 15 m/s. ¿Qué fuerza neta experimenta

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

$F_{net} = 1.875\,N$

Explanation:

Asúmase que la patinadora experimenta una aceleración constante. La fuerza neta experimentada por la patinadora:

$F_{net} = (50\,kg)\cdot \left[\frac{\left(15\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2}-\left(0\,\frac{m}{s}\right)^{2} }{2\cdot (3000\,m)} \right]$

$F_{net} = 1.875\,N$

A charge of -8.5 µC is traveling at a speed of 9.0 106 m/s in a region of space where there is a magnetic field. The angle betwe

Sindrei [870]

Answer:

The magnitude of the magnetic field is $9.3\times 10^{-5}\ T$ .

Explanation:

Given that,

Charge, $q=-8.5\ \mu C=-8.5\times 10^{-6}\ C$

Speed of the charged particle, $v=9\times 10^6\ m/s$

The angle between the velocity of the charge and the field is 56°.

The magnitude of force, $F=5.9\times 10^{-3}\ N$

We need to find the magnitude of the magnetic field. When a charged particle moves in the magnetic field, the magnetic force is experienced by it. The force is given by :

$F=qvB\ \sin\theta$

B is the magnetic field.

$B=\dfrac{F}{qv\ \sin\theta}\\\\B=\dfrac{5.9\times 10^{-3}}{8.5\times 10^{-6}\times 9\times 10^6\ \sin(56)}\\\\B=9.3\times 10^{-5}\ T$

So, the magnitude of the magnetic field is $9.3\times 10^{-5}\ T$ . Hence, this is the required solution.
