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).
consider the motion along the horizontal direction :
v₀ = initial velocity in horizontal direction as the ball rolls off the table = 3.0 m/s
X = horizontal displacement of the ball = 2.0 m
a = acceleration along the horizontal direction = 0 m/s²
t = time taken to land = ?
using the kinematics equation
X = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
2.0 = 3.0 t + (0.5) (0) t²
t = 2/3
consider the motion of the ball along the vertical direction
v₀ = initial velocity in vertical direction as the ball rolls off the table = 0 m/s
Y = vertical displacement of the ball = height of the table = h
a = acceleration along the vertical direction = 9.8 m/s²
t = time taken to land = 2/3
using the kinematics equation
Y = v₀ t + (0.5) a t²
h = 0 t + (0.5) (9.8) (2/3)²
h = 2.2 m
C 2.2 m
Explanation:
Given formula:
ME=
mv²+mgh
To make height the subject of the formula, follow the following procedures;
Subtract
mv² from both side of equation
M.E -
mv² =
mv² -
mv²+mgh
This gives:
M.E -
mv² = mgh
Multiply both sides of the expression by 
( M.E -
mv² ) x
=
x mgh
h = ( M.E -
mv² ) x

Answer:
Yes both = and - g can be felt by a rider in a roller coaster.
Explanation:
It is crucial to understand how we feel gravity in this case.
We humans have no sensory organs to directly detect magnitude and direction like some birds and other creatures, but then how do we we feel gravity?
When we stand on our feet we feel our weight due to the normal reaction of floor on our feet trying to keep us stand and our weight trying to crush us down. In an elevator we feel difference in our weight (difference magnitudes of gravity) but actually we are feeling the differences in normal reactions under different accelerations of the elevator.
In the case of roller coaster you will feel +g as you sit on a chair in it, but will feel -g when you are in upside down position as roller coaster move.
When you are seated you will feel the normal reaction of seat on you giving you the feeling +g and the support of the buckles to stay in the roller coaster when you are upside down will give you the -g feeling.
<u>This is just the physics approach</u>, a biological approach can be given in association with sensors relating to ears.
