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

Two Polaroids are aligned so that the initially unpolarized light passing through them is a maximum. At what angle should one of
steposvetlana [31]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the law of Malus which describes the change in the Intensity of Light when it crosses a polarized surface.

Mathematically the expression is given as

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

Where,

I_0= Initial Intensity

I = Final Intensity after pass through the polarizer

\theta= Angle between the polarizer and the light

Since it is sought to reduce the intensity by half the relationship between the two intensities will be given as

\frac{I}{I_0} = \frac{1}{2}

Using the Malus Law we have,

I = I_0 cos^2\theta

cos^2\theta = \frac{I}{I_0}

cos^2\theta = \frac{1}{2}

\theta = cos^{-1}(\frac{1}{2})^2

\theta = 75.52\°

Angle with respect to maximum is 90-75.52 = 14.48\°

Ann [662]

Answer:

   θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the east - north

Explanation:

This is a velocity compound exercise since it is a vector quantity.

The plane takes a direction, the air blows to the west and the result must be to the north, let's use the Pythagorean theorem to find the speed

                  v_fly² = v_nort² + v_air²

                  v_nort² = v_fly² + - v_air²

Let's use trigonometry to find the direction of the plane

        sin θ = v_air / v_fly

        θ = sin⁻¹ (v_air / v_fly)

         

let's calculate

        θ = sin⁻¹ (10/120)

         θ = 4.78º

with respect to the vertical or 4.78 to the north-east

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Explanation:

In physics, a conservation law states that a particular measurable property of an isolated physical system does not change as the system evolves over time. The exact conservation laws include conservation of energy, and conservation of linear momentum, and also conservation of angular momentum, aswell as the conservation of electric charge

Answer:

orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits

are made of frozen gas and ice

Explanation:

Comets are the made up of dry ice, frozen water, gases and dust particles. it is called dirty snow balls as their nucleus carry frozen water and pieces of rock.

Comets move around the sun in an elliptical orbits and follow Kepler's Laws saying that they move faster when closer to the Sun.

Comets have tails even when they are far from the sun and the tails that point away from the sun.

Hence, the correct options are "orbit the sun have very elliptical orbits and are made of frozen gas and ice".
