Answer:

A collision in which both total momentum and total kinetic energy are conserved

Explanation:

In classical physics, we have two types of collisions:

- Elastic collision: elastic collision is a collision in which both the total momentum of the objects involved and the total kinetic energy of the objects involved are conserved

- Inelastic collision: in an inelastic collision, the total momentum of the objects involved is conserved, while the total kinetic energy is not. In this type of collisions, part of the total kinetic energy is converted into heat or other forms of energy due to the presence of frictional forces. When the objects stick together after the collision, the collisions is called 'perfectly inelastic collision'

The table below shows the level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere for a period of 50 years.

yan [13]

Answer: The level of CO2 has risen.

Explanation:

From the table shown, we can see that the quantity of CO₂ in the atmosphere has steadily risen since the year 1960 going from 317 CO₂PPM in that year to 390 CO₂PPM in 2010.

This is a cause for alarm because with so much carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, there will be an even greater greenhouse effect that will contribute to global warming.

Two particles A and B start simultaneously from a Point P with velocities 20 m/s and 30 m/s respectively. A and B move with acce

zysi [14]

Answer:

20 m/s

Explanation:

Given

u(A) = 20 m/s
u(B) = 30 m/s
acceleration equal in magnitude but opposite in direction

Solving

Velocity of A at Q = 30 m/s
From, P to Q, Δv(A) = 30 - 20 = +10 m/s
Therefore, velocity of B at Q will be decreased by 10 as it is equal in magnitude but opposite in direction to A
Δv(B) = v(B at Q) - u(B at P)
-10 m/s = v(B at Q) - 30 m/s
v(B at Q) = 30 - 10 = 20 m/s

What is motion and explain also

N76 [4]

Answer:

the action or process of moving or being moved.

Explanation:

In physics, motion is the phenomenon in which an object changes its position over time. Motion is mathematically described in terms of displacement, distance, velocity, acceleration, speed, and time.
