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.

faltersainse [42]
<span>Answer: For a disc, the moment of inertia about the perpendicular axis through the center is given by 0.5MR^2. where M is the mass of the disc and R is the radius of the disc. For the axis through the edge, use parallel axis theorem. I = I(axis through center of mass) + M(distance between the axes)^2 = 0.5MR^2 + MR^2 (since the axis through center of mass is the axis through the center) = 1.5 MR^2</span>

In the first stage of a two-stage Carnot engine, energy is absorbed as heat Q1 at temperature T1 = 500 K, work W1 is done, and e
Nataly [62]

Answer:

Efficiency = 52%

Explanation:

Given:

First stage

heat absorbed, Q₁ at temperature T₁ = 500 K

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

and the work done is W₁

Second stage

Heat released, Q₂ at temperature T₂ = 430 K

Heat released, Q₃ at temperature T₃ = 240 K

and the work done is W₂

Total work done, W = W₁ + W₂

Now,

The efficiency is given as:

\eta=\frac{\textup{Total\ work\ done}}{\textup{Energy\ provided}}

or

Work done = change in heat

thus,

W₁ = Q₁ - Q₂

W₂ = Q₂ - Q₃

Thus,

\eta=\frac{(Q_1-Q_2)\ +\ (Q_2-Q_3)}{Q_1}}

or

\eta=1-\frac{(Q_1-Q_3)}{Q_1}}

or

\eta=1-\frac{(Q_3)}{Q_1}}

also,

\frac{Q_1}{T_1}=\frac{Q_2}{T_2}=\frac{Q_3}{T_3}

or

\frac{T_3}{T_1}=\frac{Q_3}{Q_1}

thus,

\eta=1-\frac{(T_3)}{T_1}}

thus,

\eta=1-\frac{(240\ K)}{500\ K}}

or

\eta=0.52

or

Efficiency = 52%

Suppose electric power is supplied from two independent sources which work with probabilities 0.4, 0.5, respectively. if both so
sattari [20]

Answer:

The answers to the questions are as follows

a)  k = 0, P = 0.3

k = 1, P = 0.5

k = 0, P = 0.2

b) The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.

Explanation:

To solve the question we write the parameters as follows

Probability that the first power source works = P(A) = 0.4

Probability that the second power source works = P(B) = 0.5

When both sources are supplying power  we have the probability = 1

If non of them is producing the probability = 0

a) The probability that exactly k sources work for k=0,1,2 is given by

For k = 0, probability = (1- P(A))× (1- P(B)) = 0.6 × 0.5 =0.3

Therefore the probabilities that exactly 0 source work  = 0.3

for k = 1 we have the probability = P(A)(1-P(B)) + P(B)(1-P(A)

= 0.4(1-0.5)+0.5(1-0.4) = 0.2 + 0.3 = 0.5

The probabilities that exactly 1 source work  = 0.5

for k = 2 we have the probability given by = P(A) × P(B) = 0.4 × 0.5 = 0.2

Therefore the  probability that exactly 2 sources work  = 0.2

b)  The probability that enough power will be available is

0 × P(k = 0) + 0.6 × P(k = 1) + 1 × P(k = 2)

0 × 0.2 + 0.6 × 0.5 + 1 × 0.2 = 0.5

The probability that enough power will be available is 0.5.
