Typical examples of inelastic collision are between cars, airlines, trains, etc.
For instance, when two trains collide, the kinetic energy of each train is transformed into heat, which explains why, most of the times, there is a fire after a collision. However, the momentum of the two trains that are involved in the collision remains unaffected. So, the trains collide with all their speed, maintaining their momentum, yet their kinetic energy is transformed into heat energy.
Another way to explain a train or a car collision is this: when the two trains or cars collide, they stick together while slowing down. They slow down because their kinetic energy is gradually lost. Still, they collide because they conserve their momentum.
Where are the following awnsers?
Answer:
distance between object and image = 18.9 cm
Explanation:
given data
radius of curvature = 18 cm
focal length = 1/2 radius of curvature
magnification = 40%
to find out
distance between object and image
solution
we know lens formula that is
1/f = 1/v + 1/u ....................1
here f = 18 /2 and v and u is object and image distance
and we know m = 40% = 0.40
so 0.40 = -v / u
so here v = - 0.40 u
so from equation 1
1/f = 1/v + 1/u
2/18 = - 1/0.40u + 1/u
u = -13.5 cm ..................2
and
v = -0.40 (- 13.5)
v = 5.4 cm ......................3
so from equation 2 and 3
distance between object and image = 5.4 + 13.5
distance between object and image = 18.9 cm
