Answer: Two glass marbles bounce off each other.

Explanation:Elastic collisions are collisions in which both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. The total system kinetic energy before the collision equals the total system kinetic energy after the collision. If total kinetic energy is not conserved, then the collision is referred to as an inelastic collision.

An elastic collision occurs when the two objects "bounce" apart when they collide. Two rubber balls are a good example. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved. Almost no energy is lost to sound, heat, or deformation.

A light source radiates 60.0 W of single-wavelength sinusoidal light uniformly in all directions. What is the average intensity

umka21 [38]

Answer: $29.85\ W/m^2$

Explanation:

Given

Power $P=60\ W$

Distance from the light source $r=0.4\ m$

Intensity is given by

$I=\dfrac{P}{4\pi r^2}$

Inserting values

$\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{60}{4\pi (0.4)^2}\\\\\Rightarrow I=\dfrac{60}{2.010}\\\\\Rightarrow I=29.85\ W/m^2$

Olin [163]

Answer:

v = 27 m/s

Explanation:

To find the speed of cars after the collision you take into account the momentum conservation law. Total momentum of both cars before the collision must be equal to the total momentum of both cars after the collision.

After the collision both cars traveled together, then you have:

$m_1v_1+m_2v_2=(m_1+m_2)v$ (1)
