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 horizontal desk surface measures 1.7 m by 1.0 m. If the Earth's magnetic field has magnitude 0.42 mT and is directed 68° below
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

Explanation:

Given that,

Magnetic field B = 0.42 T

Angle =68°

We need to calculate the magnetic flux

\phi=BA\costheta

Where, B = magnetic field

A = area

Put the value into the formula

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\cos22^{\circ}

\phi=0.42\times10^{-3}\times1.7\times1.0\times0.927

\phi=6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2

Hence, The magnetic flux through the desk surface is 6.6\times10^{-4}\ T-m^2.

Einstein’s theory of general relativity describes how space and time are connected. What makes this idea a theory?
vredina [299]
B. A hypothesis is just an idea. And can become a Theory if there is some evidence. However a Theory is not a law, but an idea with supportive evidence

2. A 50 kg diver is standing on the edge of a 15 m high cliff. What is his potential energy?
Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

3675 J

Explanation:

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × mass × g × height

( g is the gravitation field strength )

Mass = 50 kg

G = 9.8 N/kg ( this is always the same )

Height = 15 m

Gravitational Potential Energy = \frac{1}{2} × 50 ×9.8 × 15

= 3675 J

The sensor in the torso of a crash test dummy records the magnitude and direction of the net force acting on the dummy.If the du
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

Here in crash test the two forces are acting on the dummy in two different directions

As we know that force is a vector quantity so we need to use vector addition laws in order to find the resultant force on it.

So here two forces are given in perpendicular direction with each other so as per vector addition law we need to use Pythagoras theorem to find the resultant of two vectors

so we can say

F_{net} = \sqrt{F_1^2 + F_2^2}

here given that

F_1 = 130.0 N

F_2 = 4500.0 N

now we will plug in all data in the above equation

F_{net} = \sqrt{4500^2 + 130^}

F_{net} = 4501.9 N

so it will have net force 4501.9 N which will be reported by sensor
