In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects

Physics

Both the total momentum and the total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

- In a collision between two or more objects, if there are no external forces acting on the system (isolated system), the total momentum of the objects is always conserved. This is called principle of conservation of momentum, and can be written as follows:

mu+MU = mv+MV

where

m, M are the masses of the two objects

u, U are the initial velocities of the two objects

v, V are the final velocities of the two objects

- The total kinetic energy, however, is not always conserved. In fact, we have two types of collision:

1) In a perfectly elastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the objects is conserved. This means that we can write the following equation:

\frac{1}{2}mu^2 + \frac{1}{2}MU^2 = \frac{1}{2}mv^2+\frac{1}{2}MV^2

2) In an inelastic collision, the total kinetic energy of the object is NOT conserved. This means that part of the total kinetic energy is "lost", converted into other forms of energy (mainly thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces within the system). The most extreme case is called perfectly inelastic collision, in which the two objects stick together after the collision, and there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy.

If two objects have the same mass, what determines the strength of the gravitational force between them? (4 points) Select one:
Evgen [1.6K]

According to this equation

F = G × m₁*m₂ ÷ r²

other than the mass, the distance also affects the gravitational force between two objects (same mass or not).

Therefore the correct answer is B. The distance between the objects

Future note* use formulas to help you figure these sort of questions out. (if they have a formula to begin with).

A cloud of interstellar gas is rotating. Because the gravitational force pulls the gas particles together, the cloud shrinks, an
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Greater than

Explanation:

Here, angular momentum is conserved.

l_1\omega_1 =l_2\omega_2

When the cloud shrinks under the right conditions, a star may be formed.

Thus, Diameter of clouds are much higher than a star.

Moment of inertia of cloud is greater than the star's inertial.

so, angular velocity of the star would be greater than angular velocity of the rotating gas.

Is it proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinde
Gelneren [198K]

Answer:

No, it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder model when finding the temperatures near the bottom or top surfaces of a cylinder.

Explanation:

A cylinder is said to be infinitely long when is of a sufficient length. Also, when the diameter of the cylinder is relatively small compared to the length, it is called infinitely long cylinder.

Cylindrical rods can also be treated as infinitely long when dealing with heat transfers at locations far from the top or bottom surfaces. However, it not proper to treat the cylinder as being infinitely long when:

* When the diameter and length are comparable (i.e have the same measurement)

When finding the temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder, it is NOT PROPER TO USE AN INFINITELY LONG CYLINDER because heat transfer at those locations can be two-dimensional.

Therefore, the answer to the question is NO, since it is not proper to use an infinitely long cylinder when finding temperatures near the bottom or top of a cylinder.
