In a perfectly elastic collision between two perfectly rigid objects

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.

Answer:

The doorbell transforms electrical energy into sound.

Explanation:

The doorbell MAY turn electrical energy into motion of a striker which then impacts a resonator creating sound. However all door bells do not have solenoids. Some are electronic playing recordings when activated.

All doorbells do produce sound, though.

The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds. It can be positive, negative or zero.
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

<u>In an ionic bond , an element will have to lose or gain electrons.</u>

Explanation:

  • Ionic bond, also called electrovalent bond, type of linkage formed from the electrostatic attraction between oppositely charged ions in a chemical compound.
  • Such a bond forms when the valence (outermost) electrons of one atom are transferred permanently to another atom.
  • <em>The atom that loses the electrons becomes a positively charged ion (cation), while the one that gains them becomes a negatively charged ion (anion).</em>

∴

  • <em>The number of electrons an atom would gain or lose when forming ionic bonds cannot be zero.</em>
