What does elastic collision mean?

Physics
1 answer:
OLga [1]3 years ago
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).

How does inertia affect a person who is not wearing a seatbelt during a collision?
elena55 [62]
<span>The rule of inertia states that an object in motion will stay in motion unless another force has acted upon it. Because the person doesn't have their seatbelt on, they will keep moving. But if they were wearing a seatbelt, that would work as the force that is supposed to stop the person from flying forward.

Hope this helps :)

Which one of the following temperatures is equal to 5°C?
natali 33 [55]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) 278 K

Explanation :

We are given temperature 5^oC.

Now the conversion factor used for the temperature is,

K=^oC+273

where, K is kelvin and ^oC is Celsius.

Now put the value of temperature, we get

K=5^oC+273=278K

Therefore, the temperature 278 K is equal to the 5^oC

It is correct to say that impulse is equal toA) momentum.B) the change in momentum.C) the force multiplied by the distance the f
Elena-2011 [213]

Answer:

B) the change in momentum.

Explanation:

The impulse is defined as the product between the force applied on an object (F) and the duration of the collision (\Delta t):

J=F \Delta t (1)

We can rewrite the force by using Newton's second law, as the product between mass (m) and acceleration (a):

F=ma

So, (1) becomes

J=ma \Delta t

Now we can also rewrite the acceleration as ratio between the change in velocity and change in time: a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}. If we substitute into the previous equation, we find

J=m\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}\Delta t=m\Delta v

And the quantity m\Delta v is equivalent to the change in momentum, \Delta p.

For sprinters running at 12 m/s around a curved track of radius 26 m, how much greater (as a percentage) is the average total fo
Snezhnost [94]

Answer:

114.86%

Explanation:

In both cases, there is a vertical force equal to the sprinter's weight:

Fy = mg

When running in a circle, there is an additional centripetal force:

Fx = mv²/r

The net force is found with Pythagorean theorem:

F² = Fx² + Fy²

F² = (mv²/r)² + (mg)²

F² = m² ((v²/r)² + g²)

F = m √((v²/r)² + g²)

Compared to just the vertical force:

F / Fy

m √((v²/r)² + g²) / mg

√((v²/r)² + g²) / g

Given v = 12 m/s, r = 26 m, and g = 9.8 m/s²:

√((12²/26)² + 9.8²) / 9.8

1.1486

The force is about 114.86% greater (round as needed).
