Answer:

Momentum is always conserved, and kinetic energy may be conserved.

Explanation:

For an object moving on a horizontal, frictionless surface which makes a glancing collision with another object initially at rest on the surface, the type of collision experienced by this objects can either be elastic or an inelastic collision depending on whether the object sticks together after collision or separates and move with a common velocity after collision.

If the body separates and move with a common velocity after collision, the collision is elastic but if they sticks together after collision, the collision is inelastic.

Either ways the momentum of the bodies are always conserved since they will always move with a common velocity after collision but their kinetic energy may or may not be conserved after collision, it all depends whether they separates or stick together after collision and since we are not told in question whether or not they separate, we can conclude that their kinetic energy "may" be conserved.

.a car increases its speed from 10 m/s to 20/s in 2.5. seconds calculate it’s acceleration
Mekhanik [1.2K]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4\ m/s^2}}

Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of an object with respect to time. It is the change in velocity over the time.

a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}

The car starts at 10 meters per second and increases to 20 meters per second in 2.5 seconds.

  • v_f= 20 m/s
  • v_i= 10 m/s
  • t= 2.5 s

Substitute the values into the formula.

a= \frac{ 20 \ m/s - 10 \ m/s}{2.5 \ s }

Solve the numerator.

a= \frac{10 \ m/s}{2.5 \ s}

Divide.

a= 4 \ m/s/s

a= 4\ m/s^2

The acceleration of the car is <u>4 meters per second squared.</u>

Earth orbits once around the sun every 365.25 days at an average radius of 1.5X10^11 m. Earth's mass is 6X10^24 kg. What distanc
Katyanochek1 [597]
(a) The distance the Earth travels every year is the perimeter of the orbit; since we have the average radius of the orbit, we can calculate the perimeter:
d=2\pi r = 2 \pi (1.5 \cdot 10^{11}m)=9.4 \cdot 10^{11}m

(b) The average centripetal acceleration is given by
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}
where v is the average speed of the Earth, that we can find by dividing the distance covered by the Earth in one year (=the perimeter of the orbit) by the the time corresponding to 1 year:
t=1 year=365.25 days=3.2 \cdot 10^7 s
So the velocity is: 
v= \frac{d}{t}= \frac{9.4 \cdot 10^{11}m}{3.2 \cdot 10^7 s}  =2.94 \cdot 10^4 m/s
And so the centripetal acceleration is:
a_c =  \frac{v^2}{r}= \frac{(2.94 \cdot 10^4 m/s)^2}{9.4 \cdot 10^{11}m}  =9.2 \cdot 10^{-4} m/s^2
