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'

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. We replace one of the objects with an

Alona [7]

Answer:

F'= 4F/9

Explanation:

Two small objects each with a net charge of +Q exert a force of magnitude F on each other. If r is the distance between them, then the force is given by :

$F=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}$ ...(1)

Now, if one of the objects with another whose net charge is + 4Q is replaced and also the distance between +Q and +4Q charges is increased 3 times as far apart as they were. New force is given by :

$F'=\dfrac{kQ\times 4Q}{(3r)^2}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}$ .....(2)

Dividing equation (1) and (2), we get :

$\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}}{\dfrac{4kQ^2}{9r^2}}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{kQ^2}{r^2}\times \dfrac{9r^2}{4kQ^2}\\\\\dfrac{F}{F'}=\dfrac{9}{4}\\\\F'=\dfrac{4F}{9}$

Hence, the correct option is (d) i.e. " 4F/9"

Gravity on Jupiter is 25 m/s/s, what is the weight of a 12 kg object on Jupiter?

stiv31 [10]

Answer:

300 Newtons

Explanation:

Weight is the force of attraction between two bodies, one usually larger (like a planet), and one smaller (like a person). Force can be calculated using the formula: Force = mass × acceleration.

The mass here is 12kg, the acceleration, which in this case, is the acceleration due to gravity is 25m/s/s, by plugging in our values, we have

Force = 12 × 25 = 300 Newtons or 300 N for short.

Particle 1 and particle 2 have masses of m1 = 2.2 × 10-8 kg and m2 = 4.8 × 10-8 kg, but they carry the same charge q. The two pa

Lorico [155]

Answer: $r_2=11.81 cm$

Explanation:

Given

$m_1=2.2\times 10^{-8} kg$

$m_2=4.8\times 10^{-8} kg$

same charge on both masses

potential Energy due to Magnetic Field =Kinetic Energy of Particle

$qV=\frac{mv^2}{2}$

$v=\sqrt{\frac{2qV}{m}}$

and we know

Force due to magnetic field will Provide centripetal Force

$qvB=\frac{mv^2}{r}$

$B=\frac{\sqrt{\frac{2Vm}{q}}}{r}$

and B is equal for both particles

thus $\frac{m}{r^2}=constant$

$\frac{m_1}{r_1^2}=\frac{m_2}{r_2^2}$

$r_2^2=\frac{4.8}{2.2}\times 8^2$

$r_2=11.81 cm$

How many lines per mm are there in the diffraction grating if the second order principal maximum for a light of wavelength 536 n

grandymaker [24]

To solve this problem it is necessary to apply the concepts related to the principle of superposition and the equations of destructive and constructive interference.

Constructive interference can be defined as

$dSin\theta = m\lambda$

Where

m= Any integer which represent the number of repetition of spectrum

$\lambda$ = Wavelength

d = Distance between the slits.

$\theta$ = Angle between the difraccion paterns and the source of light

Re-arrange to find the distance between the slits we have,

$d = \frac{m\lambda}{sin\theta }$

$d = \frac{2*536*10^{-9}}{sin(24)}$

$d = 2.63*10^{-6}m$

Therefore the number of lines per millimeter would be given as

$\frac{1}{d} = \frac{1}{2.63*10^{-6} }$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379418.5\frac{lines}{m}(\frac{10^{-3}m}{1 mm})$

$\frac{1}{d} = 379.4 lines/mm$

Therefore the number of the lines from the grating to the center of the diffraction pattern are 380lines per mm

The shifting of the observed wavelength of light due to the motion of the source toward or away from the observer is called the

alexdok [17]

Answer:

doppler effect

Explanation:

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming shorter this means that the bodies are getting closer. This is known as blue shift.

When the relative motion of two bodies results in the wavelength becoming longer this means that the bodies are getting farther. This is known as red shift.

Collectively this phenomenon is known as the Doppler effect.
