Explanation:

There are two types of collision. First one is elastic and other one is inelastic collision.

The linear momentum of two objects before and after the collision remains the same in case of elastic collision. Also, the kinetic energy in elastic collision is conserved. But in case of inelastic collision, the momentum of two objects before and after the collision remains constant but the kinetic energy is in conversed. It changes form one form of energy to another.

Hence, the correct option is (E) "None of the above".

A) One Strategy in a snowball fight the snowball at a hangover level ground. While your opponent is watching this first snowfall

Alexandra [31]

Answers:

a) $\theta_{2}=38\°$

b) $t=0.495 s$

Explanation:

This situation is a good example of the projectile motion or parabolic motion, in which the travel of the snowball has two components: <u>x-component</u> and <u>y-component</u>. Being their main equations as follows for both snowballs:

<h3><u>Snowball 1:</u></h3>

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{1} t_{1}$ (1)

Where:

$V_{o}=14.1 m/s$ is the initial speed of snowball 1 (and snowball 2, as well)

$\theta_{1}=52\°$ is the angle for snowball 1

$t_{1}$ is the time since the snowball 1 is thrown until it hits the opponent

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta_{1} t_{1}+\frac{gt_{1}^{2}}{2}$ (2)

Where:

$y_{o}=0$ is the initial height of the snowball 1 (assuming that both people are only on the x axis of the frame of reference, therefore the value of the position in the y-component is zero.)

$y=0$ is the final height of the snowball 1

$g=-9.8m/s^{2}$ is the acceleration due gravity (always directed downwards)

<h3><u>Snowball 2:</u></h3>

<u>x-component: </u>

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{2} t_{2}$ (3)

Where:

$\theta_{2}$ is the angle for snowball 2

$t_{2}$ is the time since the snowball 2 is thrown until it hits the opponent

<u>y-component: </u>

$y=y_{o}+V_{o}sin\theta_{2} t_{2}+\frac{gt_{2}^{2}}{2}$ (4)

Having this clear, let's begin with the answers:

<h2>a) Angle for snowball 2</h2>

Firstly, we have to isolate $t_{1}$ from (2):

$0=0+V_{o}sin\theta_{1} t_{1}+\frac{gt_{1}^{2}}{2}$ (5)

$t_{1}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g}$ (6)

Substituting (6) in (1):

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{1}(-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g})$ (7)

Rewritting (7) and knowing $sin(2\theta)=sen\theta cos\theta$ :

$x=-\frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g} sin(2\theta_{1})$ (8)

$x=-\frac{(14.1 m/s)^{2}}{-9.8 m/s^{2}} sin(2(52\°))$ (9)

$x=19.684 m$ (10) This is the point at which snowball 1 hits and snowball 2 should hit, too.

With this in mind, we have to isolate $t_{2}$ from (4) and substitute it on (3):

$t_{2}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g}$ (11)

$x=V_{o}cos\theta_{2} (-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g})$ (12)

Rewritting (12):

$x=-\frac{V_{o}^{2}}{g} sin(2\theta_{2})$ (13)

Finding $\theta_{2}$ :

$2\theta_{2}=sin^{-1}(\frac{-xg}{V_{o}^{2}})$ (14)

$2\theta_{2}=75.99\°$

$\theta_{2}=37.99\° \approx 38\°$ (15) This is the second angle at which snowball 2 must be thrown. Note this angle is lower than the first angle $(\theta_{2} < \theta_{1})$ .

<h2>b) Time difference between both snowballs</h2>

Now we will find the value of $t_{1}$ and $t_{2}$ from (6) and (11), respectively:

$t_{1}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{1}}{g}$

$t_{1}=-\frac{2(14.1 m/s)sin(52\°)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}$ (16)

$t_{1}=2.267 s$ (17)

$t_{2}=-\frac{2V_{o}sin\theta_{2}}{g}$

$t_{2}=-\frac{2(14.1 m/s)sin(38\°)}{-9.8m/s^{2}}$ (18)

$t_{2}=1.771 s$ (19)

Since snowball 1 was thrown before snowball 2, we have:

$t_{1}-t=t_{2}$ (20)

Finding the time difference $t$ between both:

$t=t_{1}-t_{2}$ (21)

$t=2.267 s - 1.771 s$

Finally:

$t=0.495 s$

A labor push a crate through 12m and 720 J of work .The magnitude of force was

Harrizon [31]

Answer:

<h2>60 N</h2>

Explanation:

The magnitude of the force can be found by using the formula

$f = \frac{w}{d} \\$

w is the workdone

d is the distance

From the question we have

$f = \frac{720}{12} = 60 \\$

We have the final answer as

<h3>60 N</h3>

Hope this helps you

List the requirements of practical fuel?

rewona [7]

Answer:

Here we have some of the requirement of practical fuel are

1. It must contain large amount of stored energy. So that more amount of power output available to run the engines, motors etc.

2. It must occur in abundance in nature or be easy to produce.

3. The fuel must be made up of elements that combine easily with oxygen. Foe example if hydrogen molecules reacts with oxygen. Then the products are at the reaction of lower energy than the reactants, the result is the explosive release of energy and the product of water.
