Object A has of mass 7.20 kilograms, and object B has a mass of 5.75 kilograms. The two objects move along a straight line towar

d each other with velocities +2.00 meters/second and -1.30 meters/second respectively. What is the total kinetic energy of the objects after the collision, if the collision is perfectly elastic?

Two things:
1) All collisions conserve momentum
2) Elastic collisions also conserve kinetic energy.

So basically the kinetic energy before the collision is the same as the kinetic energy after the collision.

KE = ½mv²

For object A:
KE = ½(7.20 kg)(2.00 m/s)² = 14.4 J

For object B:
KE = ½(5.75 kg)(-1.30 m/s)² = 4.86 J

total kinetic energy = 14.4 J + 4.86 J = 19.3 J

The equation for Kinetic Energy in an Elastic Collision is this:
1/2(m₁v₁) + 1/2(m₂v₂) = 1/2(7.20kg)(2.00m/s) + 1/2(5.75kg)(-1.30m/s) =
3.4625m/s

I think....technically the equation above equates to the same thing except measuring the final velocity of the given masses, however you were not given that in the equation, making the first half of the full equation the only viable solution.

The tenancy of a moving object to continue moving in a strait line or a stationary object to remain in place is called
jek_recluse [69]

The tendency of a moving object to continue moving in a straight line or a stationary object to remain in place is called inertia.

According to law of inertia, an object maintains its state of rest or motion unless acted upon by an external force. an object can not move on its own unless force is applied on it to move it. also an object can not come to stop on its own unless acted upon by an external force to stop it.This is also known as newton's first law.

(II) A 20.0-kg box rests on a table. (a) What is the weight of the box and the normal force acting on it? (b) A 10.0-kg box is p
Bogdan [553]

*Fig is Attached with answer*

Answer:

(a)   Weight = Normal Force = 196.2 N

(b)   Normal force table on 20 kg box = 294.3 N

       Normal force 20 kg box on 10 kg box = 98.1 N

Explanation:

(a)   Mass = m = 20 kg                           g = 9.81 m/s²

      Weight = w = mg

                      w = 20 × 9.81

                      w = 196.2 N

As the box rests on the table so, normal force (NF) must be equal to the weight of the box.

                    NF = w = 196.2 N

(b)

m₁ = 20 kg                      m₂ = 10 kg

total mass = M = 30 kg

Total Weight = W = Mg  

                             = 30 × 9.81

                             = 294.3 N

As both the boxes rest on the table so, normal force (NF) must be equal to the total weight of the boxes.

                          NF = W = 294.3 N

Weight of 10 kg box = 10 × 9.81 = 98.1 N

As the 10 kg box is placed on the top of 20 kg box, So 20 kg box must exert a normal force that is equal to the weight of 10 kg box.

              Normal Force = Weight of 10 kg box = 98.1 N
