<u>The following statements are false about collisions: </u>

The velocity change of two respective objects involved in a collision will always be equal.
Total momentum is always conserved between any two objects involved in a collision.

Answer: Option B, and D

<u>Explanation: </u>

In any collisions, equal amount of net force will be acted upon the colliding objects due to the third law of Newton, irrespective of the significance difference in mass of the objects. Similarly, they can also have different acceleration values during collision of two objects if the masses are identical.

But the statements regarding the equal change in velocity of two objects respectively involved in collision always is false, as the conservation of momentum is applicable for isolated system only. So it is true for only isolated system and not in all the systems.

The same reason goes for falsifying the fourth statement which states that total momentum is always conserved between two objects involved in a collision as this statement is only true for isolated system where the conservation of momentum can be applied. Thus the second and fourth statement is false regarding collision.

2. A jack exerts a vertical force of 4.5 X 103

skad [1K]

Correct Question:-

A jack exerts a vertical force of 4.5 × 10³

newtons to raise a car 0.25 meter. How much

work is done by the jack?

$\\ \\$

Given :-

$\star \sf \small force = 4.5 \times {10}^{3} \: newton$

$\star \sf \small distance = 0.25 \: meter$

$\\ \\$

To find:-

$\sf \star \: work = \: ?$

$\\ \\$

Solution:-

we know :-

$\bf \dag \boxed{ \rm work = force \times distance}$

$\\ \\$

So:-

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = force \times distance$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times 0.5 \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times \frac{0 \cancel.5}{10} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times \frac{5}{10} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = (4.5 \times 1 {0}^{3} ) \times \cancel \frac{5}{10} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{4\cancel.5}{10} \times 1 {0}^{3} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{10} \times 1 {0}^{3} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{10 {}^{0} } \times 1 {0}^{3 - 1} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{10 {}^{0} } \times 1 {0}^{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45}{1} \times 1 {0}^{2} \times \dfrac{1}{2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45 \times 10 \times \cancel{10}}{ \cancel2} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work = \dfrac{45 \times 10 \times 5}{ 1} \\$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \sf work =225 \times 10$

$\\ \\$

$\dashrightarrow \bf work =\red{2250\: joule}$

What is the reverse of vaporization?

Naddik [55]

Answer: condensation.

Vaporization is the pass from liquid state to gaseous state.

Then the reverse is the transformation from gaseous state to liquid state.

That is called condensation.

When the water vaporizes the liquid transforms into vapor which goes to the atmosphere. When the water vapor of the atmosphere condensates liquid water is formed. You can see condensation when you have a glass with cold water and drops of water form in the exterior of the glass: those drops are liquid water that formed when the vapor of the air that surrounds the glass cools due to the lower temperature of the surface of the glass.
