What is an elastic collision?

Physics
1 answer:
Anit [1.1K]3 years ago
6 0

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'

Which option is an example of an object that has potential energy followed by an object that has kinetic energy?
Nata [24]

A ball held over a person's head | a ball rolling on the floor is an example of an object that has potential energy followed by an object that has kinetic energy.

<h3>What is Kinetic energy?</h3>

This is the type of energy possessed by a body by virtue of its motion or movement.

The rolling ball therefore has kinetic energy while a ball being held over a person's head has potential energy which is the energy possessed by a body by virtue of its position.

a man hits a gold ball (0.205kg) which accelerates at a rate of 20.0 m/s squared. what is the amount of force acted on the ball
Schach [20]

Answer:

<h2>4.1 N</h2>

Explanation:

The force acting on an object given it's mass and acceleration can be found by using the formula

force = mass × acceleration

From the question we have

force = 0.205 × 20

We have the final answer as

<h3>4.1 N</h3>

Hope this helps you
