Using the equation for the final velocity in terms of masses and initial velocity of the gliders for a perfectly inelastic colli

sion, work out the final kinetic energy, assuming one of the glider is at rest initially. Compare this to the initial kinetic energy and show that kinetic energy is not conserved in the collision. Do this only with variables; none of your data should be included

Answer:

Comparison has been made.

Explanation:

Consider perfectly inelastic collision.Two masses of m1 and m2 with initial velocities u1 and u2 before colliding, stick together after collision and move with common speed v. then according to the rule of momentum preservation

m1u1+m2u2=  (m1+m2)v

v= \frac{m1u1+m2u2}{m1+m2}

If u1 and u2 are known the final common velocity can be determined

Initial kinetic energy is

\frac{1}{2}m1u1^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m2u2^{2}

The collion here is perfectly inelastic this means kinectic energy is not conserved. Therefore, initial kinectic energy is not equal to final kinectic.  

\frac{1}{2}m1v^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m2v^{2}

Explain how you can cause light separated by a prism to combine
r-ruslan [8.4K]
When you shine a lite through a prism is reflects out light through all of the edges and causes light separation. Or just simply shine a laser through the edge of a sideways piece of glass.

I hope that this was helpful for you.

Why do we say that a baseball falls toward Earth, and not Earth toward the baseball?
mezya [45]
Probably because the earth is stationary rotating on its axis whereas the baseball is the one doing all of the movement after being thrown

Describe in terms of kinetic and potential energy what happens if an apple falls from a tree and comes to rest on the ground( wr
Lunna [17]

Answer:

An apple hanging at a branch has potential energy due its position. It can be written as PE= mgh where m is the mass of the apple h is the distance between the apple and the ground and g is the acceleration due to gravity.

as the apple falls from the tree it loses its potential energy and gains kinetic energy due to the movement of the apple. Its kinetic energy will be given by KE= 1/2mv²  where m is the mass of the apple and v is the speed with which the apple falls.

As the apple falls the height or the distance reduces and PE becomes reduces. But it gains Kinetic energy due to its speed.

But when the apple falls to the ground and comes to rest its kinetic energy is converted to potential energy.

thus the total energy remains the same. it changes from one form to the other but remains unaltered.

Sonia was experimenting with electric charges. She tied two inflated balloons together, held them next to each other, and rubbed
lions [1.4K]

Answer: They will repel each other.

Explanation:

Two inflated balloons when rubbed with woolen cloth will lead to repeal each other because of the similar charges on both the balloons.

Rubbing both the balloons together by the woolen cloth will introduce negative charge in the balloons.

As, we know that the same charges repeal each other both of the balloons with be apart from each other.

This is due to the static electricity, the negatively charged particles jump to the positive one. When balloons are rubbed they become negatively charged.
