Answer:

The helicopter was deformed and destroyed in the inelastic collision.

Explanation:

When two object collide there exist two way of colliding: elastic collision and inelastic collision.
Two terms are considered during the collision: kinetic energy and momentum.
If both of these terms are conserved in any collision then there is no significant loss of property, this is called as elastic collision.

If only momentum is conserved but kinetic energy is converted into other forms then it is inelastic collision. In inelastic collision, the energy is lost in the form of vibration, sound etc. causing the damage to colliding object.

Hence the deformation of helicopter was due to inelastic collision.

Answer:

Option B

$a=19 m/s^{2}$

Explanation:

Given information

Radius of container, r=12cm=12/100=0.12m

Angular velocity= 2 rev/s, converted to rad/s we multiply by 2π

Angular velocity, $\omega=2*2\pi =12.56637061$

We know that speed, $v=r\omega$

Centripetal acceleration, $a=\frac {v^{2}}{r}$ and substituting $v=r\omega$ we obtain that

$a=r\omega^{2}$

Substituting \omega for 12.56637061 and r for 0.12

$a=0.12*(12.56637061)^{2}=18.94964045 m/s^{2}$

Rounded off, $a=19 m/s^{2}$

Answer:

After a male ejaculates, many sperms move to the upper vagina (via contractions from the vagina) through the cervix and across the length of the uterus, reaching the fallopian tubes. Here they will meet the egg cell ready to be fertilized

N=m*g=7.5*9.81=73.58N

which is 73.58-23=50.58N less

so, there the person must pull at 23 degree upward

break down the tension in two components, vertical and horizontal.

vertical tension= 50.58=T*sin23

T=50.58/sin23=129.45N</span>

Is there any machine that is 100% efficient? why?why not

denis-greek [22]

Answer:

No, it's not there.

Explanation:

For a machine to be 100% efficient, it has to be with an output which is equal to its input. But machines have an out put less than an input, hence efficiency below 100%.
