Under what conditions is energy conserved

Physics
1 answer:
Alinara [238K]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

If only internal forces are doing work (no work done by external forces), then there is no change in the total amount of mechanical energy. The total mechanical energy is said to be conserved. ... In these situations, the sum of the kinetic and potential energy is everywhere the same.

A 10kg sphere hits a stationary 8kg sphere. After the collision the 8kg sphere moves off in the positive direction at 4m/s. If t
Bumek [7]

M = mass of the first sphere = 10 kg

m = mass of the second sphere = 8 kg

V = initial velocity of the first sphere before collision = 10 m/s

v = initial velocity of the second sphere before collision = 0 m/s

V' = final velocity of the first sphere after collision = ?

v' = final velocity of the second sphere after collision = 4 m/s

using conservation of momentum

M V + m v = M V' + m v'

(10) (10) + (8) (0) = (10) V' + (8) (4)

100 = (10) V' + 32

(10) V' = 68

V' = 6.8 m/s

Car A starts in Sacramento at 11am. It travels along 400 mile route to Los Angeles at 60 mph. Car B starts from Los Angeles at n
damaskus [11]

Answer:

  • 38.89 miles

Explanation:

from the question we have the following:

distance between Sacramento and los angles = 400 miles

speed of car A = 60 mph

start time of car A = 11 am

speed of car B = 75 mph

start time of car B = 12 pm

distance of Fresno from Los Angeles = 150 miles

  • To start off let's allow car A to travel for one hour (from 11 am to 12 pm), during which it would have covered a distance of 60 miles.
  • Now the time would be 12 pm and the distance between the two cars would be 400 - 60 (distance traveled by car A within 11 am to 12 pm) = 340 miles
  • From 12 pm to the time both cars will meet, the distance covered by car A + distance covered by car B would be equal to 340 miles. Therefore
  • Distance covered by car A = speed x time(t) = 60 x t = 60t
  • Distance covered by car B = speed x time(t) = 75 x t = 75t
  • 60t + 75t = 340 miles
  • 135t = 340
  • t = 2.51 hours
  • Recall that at their meeting point, the distance covered by car B = 75t = 75 x 2.62 = 188.89 miles
  • Since Fresno is 150 miles from Los Angeles, car B which is 188.89 miles from Los Angeles at their meeting point would be 188.89 - 150 = 38.89 miles from Fresno
  • 38.89 miles would also be the distance of car A from Fresno since that is their meeting point.

an astronaut drops a hammer and an egg while standing on the surface of the moon. which one will the surface first?
elena-s [515]
The two will fall at the same speed and reach the surface at the same time. This is because the two will experience the same gravitational acceleration on the moon. However, on the earth surface the two will land on the surface of the earth at the same time due to air resistance such that the egg will experience a higher air resistance than the hammer. On, the moon, where there is no noticeable atmosphere there is no air resistance on either object and both fall at the same speed. It is also important to note that their mass doesn't affect their speed.

What happens to the gravitational attraction between 2 objects
amm1812

Answer:

It decreases.

Explanation:

between the two interacting objects, more separation distance will result in weaker gravitational forces. So as two objects are separated from each other, the force of gravitational attraction between them also decreases
