Please help me what defines the above collision as being elastic?

Physics
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
4 0

A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. ... Momentum is conserved in inelastic collisions, but one cannot track the kinetic energy through the collision since some of it is converted to other forms of energy.

I hope this helps

A girl (mass M) standing on the edge of a frictionless merry-go-round (radius R, rotational inertia I) that is not moving. She t
vladimir1956 [14]

a) \omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}

b) v=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}

Explanation:

a)

Since there are no external torques acting on the system, the total angular momentum must remain constant.

At the beginning, the merry-go-round and the girl are at rest, so the initial angular momentum is zero:

L_1=0

Later, after the girl throws the rock, the angular momentum will be:

L_2=(I_M+I_g)\omega +L_r

where:

I is the moment of inertia of the merry-go-round

I_g=MR^2 is the moment of inertia of the girl, where

M is the mass of the girl

R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

\omega is the angular speed of the merry-go-round and the girl

L_r=mvR is the angular momentum of the rock, where

m is the mass of the rock

v is its velocity

Since the total angular momentum is conserved,

L_1=L_2

So we find:

0=(I+I_g)\omega +mvR\\\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2}

And the negative sign indicates that the disk rotates in the direction opposite to the motion of the rock.

b)

The linear speed of a body in rotational motion is given by

v=\omega r

where

\omega is the angular speed

r is the distance of the body from the axis of rotation

In this problem, for the girl, we have:

\omega=\frac{-mvR}{I+MR^2} is the angular speed

r=R is the distance of the girl from the axis of rotation

Therefore, her linear speed is:

v=\omega R=\frac{-mvR^2}{I+MR^2}

An aluminum cylinder weighing 30 N, 6 cm in diameter and 40 cm long, is falling concentrically through a long vertical sleeve of
Georgia [21]

Answer: Velocity terminal = 0.093m/s

Explanation:

1. We start by evaluating the gap distance between the two cylinders as h = R(sleeve) - R(cylinder)

= (0.0604/2 - 0.06/2)m

= 2×10^-4

Surface are of the cylinder in the drop, which is required in order to evaluate the shearing stress can be expressed as A(cylinder) = π.d.L

= (π×0.06×0.4)m²

= 0.075m²

Since the force of the cylinder's weight is going to balance the shearing force on the walls, we can express the next equation and derive terminal velocity from it.

Shearing stress = u×V.terminal/h = 0.86×V/0.0002

= 4300Vterminal

Therefore, Fw = shearing stress × A

30N = 4300Vterminal × 0.075

V. terminal = 30/4300 m.s

V. terminal = 0.093m/s

A radio station's channel, such as 100.7 fm or 92.3 fm, is actually its frequency in megahertz (mhz), where 1mhz=106 hz and 1hz=
AURORKA [14]
The frequency of the radio station is
f=88.7 fm= 88.7 MHz = 88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz

For radio waves (which are electromagnetic waves), the relationship between frequency f and wavelength \lambda is
\lambda= \frac{c}{f}
where c is the speed of light. Substituting the frequency of the radio station, we find the wavelength:
\lambda= \frac{3 \cdot 10^8 m/s}{88.7 \cdot 10^6 Hz}=3.38 m
