An inelastic collision of two objects is characterized by the following.

Physics
1 answer:
serious [3.7K]3 years ago
8 0

Options:

(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

(c) Both A and B are true.

(d) Neither A nor B are true.

Answer:

(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.

Explanation:

An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.

In an inelastic collision:

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.

Which statement about a pair of units is true?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

option A is correct as 1 yard consist of 0.9144 meter which is less than one meter

Explanation:

from the above given statement option 1 is true

1 yard is equal to 0.9144 meter

while

1 mile is equal to 1.60934 km

1 foot is equal to 30.48 centimeter

1 inch is equal to 2.54 centimeter

therefore all these units [left one] are larger than their respective conversion [ right one unit]

therefore option A is correct as 1 yard consist of 0.9144 meter which is less than one meter

What temperature resistivity of tungsten is 4 times resistivity of silver?
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer:

Slightly above 20°c

Explanation:

The resistivity of silver is 1.59 x 10-8Ωm{ as discovered by experiment from scientist}

The resistivity of tungsten at 20°c is 5.6x10-8Ωm

We see the value is just an approximation of 4 times not exactly.

What are the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of an electron at a point where the electric field has magnitude 7400 N
bezimeni [28]

Answer: a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s² due north

Explanation: The magnitude of the force required to move the electron is given as

F = ma

The force exerted on the charge by the electric field of intensity (E) is given by

F = Eq

Thus

Eq = ma

a = E * q/ m

Where a = acceleration of charge

E = strength of electric field = 7400N/c

q = magnitude of electronic charge = 1.609 * 10^-6c

m = mass of an electronic charge = 9.109 * 10^-31kg

a = 7400 * 1.609 * 10^-16/ 9.109 * 10^-31

a = 11906.6 * 10^-16 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 1.19 * 10^-12 / 9.019 * 10^-31

a = 0.132 * 10^19

a = 1.32 * 10^18m/s²

As stated in the question, the direction of the electric field is due north hence, the direction of it force will also be north thus making the electron experience a force due north ( according to Newton second law of motion)

What is the wavelength (in air) of a 13.0 khz vlf radio wave?
bonufazy [111]
Since,
Speed = Frequency * WaveLength

=> WaveLength = Speed / Frequency --- (A)

Frequency = 13.0 kHz.
As the radio waves are electromagnetic waves, their speed is equals to the speed of light. Therefore,
Speed = C = 3 *  10^{8}  m/ s^{2}

Plug in the values in equation(A):

A => WaveLength = \frac{3 * 10^{8}}{13*10^{3}}

Ans: Wavelength = 23.077 kilometers.

Sphere A has a charge of +2 x 10 to the power of -6 coulomb and is brought into contact with a similar sphere, B which has a cha
Setler [38]
When sphere A and B are brought in contact and separated, charge on each sphere becomes [2x10^-6 + (-4x10^-6)]/ 2 = -1x10^-6 C.

That is, charge is equally separated and is the average of charges on both spheres. The reason behind equal charge on both spheres after separation is, when they are kept in contact, their potential difference becomes same.
