Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is and the kinetic energy is
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is
, but the kinetic energy is reduced to
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
Answer:
103239.89 days
Explanation:
Kepler's third law states that the square of the orbital period of a planet is directly proportional to the cube of the semi-major axis of its orbit.
a³ / T² = 7.496 × 10⁻⁶ (a.u.³/days²)
where,
a is the distance of the semi-major axis in a.u
T is the orbit time in days
Converting the mean distance of the new planet to astronomical unit (a.u.)
1 a.u = 9.296 × 10⁷ miles
Substituting the values into Kepler's third law equation;
(days)²
T = 103239.89 days
An estimate time T for the new planet to travel around the sun in an orbit is 103239.89 days
