If there is no air resistance and the body, in this case the sky diver simply falls from the helicopter then, the motion can be described as a free-falling body. The equation that would allow us to determine the speed of the body at any time, t is,

<span>                                    v(t)  = vo + gt</span>

<span>where v(t) is the unknown velocity, vo is the initial velocity which is equal to zero and g is the acceleration due to gravity which is equal to 9.8 m/s2.</span>

Substituting the known values,

<span>                                    v(t) = 0 + (9.8 m/s2)(12s)</span>

<span>                                                v(t) = 117.6 m/s</span>

<span>Hence, the speed of the sky diver at the end of 12 second is approximately 117.6 m/s.  </span>

Tom [10]

Answer: When a pathogen enters their colony, ants change their behavior to avoid the outbreak of disease. In this way, they protect the queen, brood and young workers from becoming ill. These results, from a study carried out in collaboration between the groups of Sylvia Cremer at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (IST Austria) and of Laurent Keller at the University of Lausanne, are published today in the journal Science.

Explanation: search for it.

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.

Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.

As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1} and the kinetic energy is 5~J. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is  2.5~Kg~m~s^{-1}, but the kinetic energy is reduced to 4~J. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.

Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
