What does elastic collision mean?

1 answer:

7 0

An elastic collision is an encounter between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after the encounter is equal to their total kinetic energy before the encounter. Elastic collisions occur only if there is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms (such as heat or noise).

What is the impulse of a 3 kg object that starts from rest and moves to 20 m/s?

IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

Explanation:

Impulse is defined as the product of the force applied on an object and the time at which it acts. It is also the change in the momentum of a body.

F = m a

F = m( $\frac{v_{2} - v_{1} }{t}$ )

⇒ Ft = m( $v_{2}$ - $v_{1}$ )

where: F is the dorce on the object, t is the time at which it acts, m is the mass of the object, $v_{1}$ is its initialvelocity and $v_{2}$ is the final velocity of the object.

Therefore,

impulse = Ft = m( $v_{2}$ - $v_{1}$ )

From the question, m = 3kg, $v_{1}$ = 0m/s and $v_{2}$ = 20m/s.

So that,

Impulse = 3 (20 - 0)

= 3(20)

= 60Ns

The impulse on the object is 60Ns.

if it takes 3.5 hours for the hogwarts express moving at a speed of 120 mi/hr to make it from platform 9 and 3/4 to hogwarts how

Mila [183]

Use the formula distance = rate * time. substitute in the values you know, which gives you distance = 120mph * 3.5hours. multiply 120 and 3.5 to get distance = 420 miles.
