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.

Consider a metal single crystal oriented such that the normal to the slip plane and the slip direction are at angles of 60 and 3
Scilla [17]

Explanation:

Given that,

Angle by the normal to the slip α= 60°

Angle by the slip direction with the tensile axis β= 35°

Shear stress = 6.2 MPa

Applied stress = 12 MPa

We need to calculate the shear stress applied at the slip plane

Using formula of shear stress

\tau=\sigma\cos\alpha\cos\beta

Put the value into the formula

\tau=12\cos60\times\cos35

\tau=4.91\ MPa

Since, the shear stress applied at the slip plane is less than the critical resolved shear stress

So, The crystal will not yield.

Now, We need to calculate the applied stress necessary for the crystal to yield

Using formula of stress

\sigma=\dfrac{\tau_{c}}{\cos\alpha\cos\beta}

Put the value into the formula

\sigma=\dfrac{6.2}{\cos60\cos35}

\sigma=15.13\ MPa

Hence, This is the required solution.

A 100-kg spacecraft is in a circular orbit about Earth at a height h = 2RE .
maria [59]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the conservation of the Gravitational Force and the centripetal force by equilibrium,

F_g = F_c

\frac{GmM}{r^2} = \frac{mv^2}{r}

Where,

m = Mass of spacecraft

M = Mass of Earth

r = Radius (Orbit)

G = Gravitational Universal Music

v = Velocity

Re-arrange to find the velocity

\frac{GM}{r^2} = \frac{v^2}{r}

\frac{GM}{r} = v^2

v = \sqrt{\frac{GM}{r}}

PART A ) The radius of the spacecraft's orbit is 2 times the radius of the earth, that is, considering the center of the earth, the spacecraft is 3 times at that distance. Replacing then,

v = \sqrt{\frac{(6.67*10^{-11})(5.97*10^{24})}{3*(6.371*10^6)}}

v = 4564.42m/s

From the speed it is possible to use find the formula, so

T = \frac{2\pi r}{v}

T = \frac{2\pi (6.371*10^6)}{4564.42}

T = 8770.05s\approx 146min\approx 2.4hour

Therefore the orbital period of the spacecraft is 2 hours and 24 minutes.

PART B) To find the kinetic energy we simply apply the definition of kinetic energy on the ship, which is

KE = \frac{1}{2} mv^2

KE = \frac{1}{2} (100)(4564.42)^2

KE = 1.0416*10^9J

Therefore the kinetic energy of the Spacecraft is 1.04 Gigajules.
