Answer:
A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved
Explanation:
In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:
- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved
- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'
Answer:
270 mi/h
Explanation:
Given that,
To the south,
v₁ = 300 mi/h, t₁ = 2 h
We can find distance, d₁
To the north,
v₂ = 250 mi/h, d₂ = 750 miles
We can find time, t₂
Now,
Average speed = total distance/total time
Hence, the average speed for the trip is 270 mi/h.
Gravity obeys the inverse square law. At 6400 km above the center of the Earth (Earth's surface) you weigh x. Twice that reduces your weight to 1/4th. Four times that height reduces your weight to 1/16th. 4 times 6400 km is 25,600 km. But that is above the center of the earth, and the question requests the height above the surface, so we deduct 6400 km to arrive at our final answer: 19,200 km.
Incidentally, it doesn't exactly work the opposite way. At the center of the Earth the mass would be equally distributed around you, and you would therefore be weightless.
If you draw the problem, it would look like that shown in the attached picture. The total length the ship will now travel can be solved using the Pythagorean theorem. The solution is as follows:
d = √(120)²+(100)²
d = 156.2 km
So, the ship will have to travel 156.2 km to the northwest direction.
1. If we increase the distance to twice it's original value, the light intensity is reduced by one-fourth, the light intensity would be:
I0/4
2. rms magnetic field is inversely proportional to distance, so the new rms magnetic field would be:
B0/2
3. average energy density is inversely proportional to the square of the distance, so the new average energy density is:
E0/4
