8. What are elastic and inelastic collisions?

Physics
1 answer:
yanalaym [24]4 years ago
3 0

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities in elastic collisions.

An inelastic collision is a collision in which there is a loss of kinetic energy. While momentum of the system is conserved in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not. This is because some kinetic energy had been transferred to something else.

A 4.44 l container holds 15.4 g of oxygen at 22.55°c. what is the pressure?
padilas [110]
We will use the ideal gas equation:
PV = nRT, where n is moles and equal to mass / Mr
P = mRT/MrV
P = 15.4 x 8.314 x (22.55 + 273) / 32 x 4.44
P = 266.3 kPa

What are the units of measure for distance?
olga2289 [7]
The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.

si tienes 2 circuitos uno en serie y otro en paralelo con el mismo valor en sus resistencias, para cuál circuito la resistencia
Novosadov [1.4K]

Answer:

circuito paralelo

Explanation:

Siempre el circuito en paralelo dara una resistencia menor. Recuerda que las resistencias se suman en el circuito en serie, an cambio en el circuito en paralelo, la corriente se bifurca de manera de circular con mayor intensidad por las ramas que tengan menos resistencia, y tal situacion llevara siempre a producir una menor resistencia equivalente.
