The relative kinetic energy loss through a process is defined as ΔΚ Δκ. к, relatine a. Rewrite part (a) in terms of the mass rat

io (m, mincoming/mstationary) due to a completely inelastic collision where the second objects is at rest? b. If I want a system that loses 25% of the kinetic energy after a completely inelastic collision, what should the mass ratio be? c. If I want a system that loses 75% of the kinetic energy after a completely inelastic collision, what should the mass ratio be?

Answer:

Explanation:

Let mass m₁ is colliding in-elastically with stationary mass m₂ with velocity v₁ . Let v₂ be their conjugate velocity after collision .

Initial KE =1/2 m₁ v₁²

Final KE = 1/2 ( m₁ + m₂ ) v₂²

from conservation of momentum

v₂ = m₁v₁ / ( m₁ + m₂)

Final KE = 1/2 ( m₁ + m₂ ) m₁²v₁² / ( m₁ + m₂ )²

= 1/2  m₁²v₁² / ( m₁ + m₂ )

Loss of KE = ΔK

= 1/2 m₁ v₁² -  1/2  m₁²v₁² / ( m₁ + m₂ )

= 1/2 m₁ v₁² ( 1 - m₁ / m₁ + m₂ )

= 1/2 m₁ v₁²  m₂ / (m₁ + m₂ )

ΔK / K= m₂ / (m₁ + m₂ )

= β / (1 + β)

where β = m₂ / m₁

b )

If ΔK / K = .25

.25  =  β / (1 + β)

β = 1/3

c )

If

ΔK / K = .75

.75  =  β / (1 + β)

β  = 3

bija089 [108]
Assuming that the angle is the same for both ropes, then D. is the answer.  You have to consider also if the ropes are close together or far apart and if the force to move the object is in line with the ropes or perpendicular to them.

What grade of sprain is a completely torn ligament?
Alex Ar [27]
Grade 1: Stretching or slight tearing of the ligament with mild tenderness, swelling and stiffness. The ankle feels stable and it is usually possible to walk with minimal pain.

Grade 2: A more severe sprain, but incomplete tear with moderate pain, swelling and bruising. Although it feels somewhat stable, the damaged areas are tender to the touch and walking is painful.

Grade 3: This is a complete tear of the affected ligament(s) with severe swelling and bruising. The ankle is unstable and walking is likely not possible because the ankle gives out and there is intense pain.
