Answer:
In an elastic collision, the momentum is conserved and the mechanical energy is conserved too.
Explanation:
There are two types of collisions:
- Elastic collision: in an elastic collision, the total momentum before and after the collision is conserved; also, the total mechanical energy before and after the collision is conserved.
- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum before and after the colllision is conserved, while the total mechanical energy is not conserved (in fact, part of the energy is converted into other forms of energy such that thermal energy, due to the presence of frictional forces)
Answer:
have tried it and the units end up being Nm^-2 (the unit of stress) however the unit for joules is Nm.

Answer:
Forces Acting in the Same Direction
If two forces act on an object in the same direction, the net force is equal to the sum of the two forces.
Explanation:
Answer:
They are in free-fall motion.
Explanation:
The Earth orbiting astronauts are falling at an acceleration that is the same or greater than the acceleration due to gravity i.e., 9.81 m/s². If you are continuously falling at this rate then you will feel weightless.
This same effect is felt while going down in an elevator. When you down in an elevator you feel that you are lighter and feel that something is pushing you up. Earth-orbiting astronauts feel the same effect but the accelration is greater hence they feel weightless.
