Answer:

a) This means the collision between the ball and the floor is elastic.

b) This points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision

c) Check Explanation.

Explanation:

Collision of bodies are analysed according to whether both momentum and kinetic energy of the system is conserved, that is, if these two quantities before collision are equal to their values after collision.

In all types of collisions, momentum is usually conserved, but kinetic energy is conserved only in an elastic collision.

A ball dropped from a height of 8 m bounces up back to a height of 5 m.

a. If the ball had bounced to a height of 8m, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

The ball not bouncing back to a height of 8 m shows energy loss at some point in the total motion of the ball (most likely at the collision). If kinetic energy was conserved, the ball would bounce back up to the height at which it fell from (8 m) after the collision with the floor.

b. If the ball had not bounced at all, how would you describe the collision between the ball and the floor?

If the ball had not bounced at all, this means it lost all of its kinetic energy to the floor, and this points to a perfectly inelastic collision between the ball and the floor as they stick together after collision.

c. What happened to the energy lost by the ball during thecollision?

The energy lost during the collision is converted to another form, most likely responsible for some deformation on the ball & a minute deformation on the floor, converted to some form of heat as a result of the collision or into sound energy, usually, it's a combination of all This!

Hope this Helps!!!

when an incandescent light bulb is turned on, its thin wire filament heats up quickly. as the temperature of this wire filament
Leno4ka [110]

Well, we usually assume that the resistance of a circuit component
is constant and doesn't change.  But the truth is that for anything
that conducts current, its resistance always increases somewhat
when it warms up. 

For things like light bulbs, electric toasters, space heaters, electric
stove burners, the heat coils in a blow-dryer ... anything that's
designed to be really hot when it's doing its job ... the resistance
of those things increases significantly when they come up to their
operating temperatures.

Calculate the kinetic energy in joules of an automobile weighing 2135 lb and traveling at 55 mph. (1 mile = 1.6093 km, 1 lb = 45
victus00 [196]
<span>Let's convert the speed to m/s: speed = (55 mph) (1609.3 m / mile) (1 hour / 3600 seconds) speed = 24.59 m/s Let's convert the mass to kilograms: mass = (2135 lb) (0.45359 kg / lb) mass = 968.4 kg We can find the kinetic energy KE: KE = (1/2) m v^2 KE = (1/2) (968.4 kg) (24.59 m/s)^2 KE = 292780 joules The kinetic energy of the automobile is 292780 joules.</span>
