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 term describes the object that a satellite revolves around?
m_a_m_a [10]

The object that a satellite revolves around is the <em>central body</em> of the system. <em>(C)</em>

For example:

-- The central body of the solar system is the Sun.

-- The central body for TV satellites, GPS satellites, weather satellites, and the International Space Station is the Earth.

-- The central body for Phobos and Deimos is Mars.

This should be a pretty easy question to answer by elimination, when you notice that "Orbit", "Period", and "Rotation" are not "Bodies".

A student falls off a cliff into the lake 54.0 m below. What is the final velocity of the student?
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards

Explanation:

This is a free fall exercise, let's use the expression

         v_{y}^{2} = v_{oy}^{2} + 2 g (y -yo)

where we are assuming that there is friction with the air, as the body falls its initial velocity is zero

         v_{oy} = √ 2g (y - y₀)

let's calculate

         v_{y} = √ (2 9.8 (0-54.0))

         v_{y} = -32.53 m / s

this velocity is directed downwards
