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

1 answer:

Kryger [21]3 years ago

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

What is the mass of a large ship that has a momentum of 1.60x10^9 kg*m/s and is moving at a velocity of 10m/s?

Elden [556K]

Answer:

160000000 kg.

Explanation:

p=mv

p=1.6x10^9

v=10m/s

rearrange and substitute:

(1.6x10^9)=m(10)

m=(1.6x10^9)/10

m= 1.6x10^8 kg.

What is the total entropy change if a 0.280 efficiency engine takes 3.78E3 J of heat from a 3.50E2 degC reservoir and exhausts i

babymother [125]

Answer:

$\Delta S=1.69J/K$

Explanation:

We know,

$\eta=1-\frac{T_2}{T_1}=1-\frac{Q_2}{Q_1}$ ..............(1)

where,

η = Efficiency of the engine

T₁ = Initial Temperature

T₂ = Final Temperature

Q₁ = Heat available initially

Q₂ = Heat after reaching the temperature T₂

Given:

η =0.280

T₁ = 3.50×10² °C = 350°C = 350+273 = 623K

Q₁ = 3.78 × 10³ J

Substituting the values in the equation (1) we get

$0.28=1-\frac{Q_2}{3.78\times 10^{3}}$

or

$\frac{Q_2}{3.78\times 10^3}=0.72$

or

$Q_2=3.78\times 10^3\times0.72$

⇒ $Q_2 =2.721\times 10^3 J$

Now,

The entropy change ( $\Delta S$ ) is given as:

$\Delta S=\frac{\Delta Q}{T_1}$

or

$\Delta S=\frac{Q_1-Q_2}{T_1}$

substituting the values in the above equation we get

$\Delta S=\frac{3.78\times 10^{3}-2.721\times 10^3 J}{623K}$

$\Delta S=1.69J/K$
