Because the speed of light through air is more than 800 thousand times faster than the speed of sound through air. So the sight of anything reached him well before the sound of it.

Two pieces of clay are moving directly toward each other. When they collide, they stick together and move as one piece. One piec
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

The fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision is \dfrac{11}{17}\ J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of one piece = 300 g

Speed of one piece = 1 m/s

Mass of other piece = 600 g

Speed of other piece = 0.75 m/s

We need to calculate the final velocity

Using conservation of energy

m_{1}v_{1}+m_{2}v_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v

Put the value intro the formula

300\times10^{-3}\times1+600\times10^{-3}\times(0.75)=(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})v

v=\dfrac{00\times10^{-3}\times1+600\times10^{-3}\times(-0.75)}{(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})}

v=-0.5\ m/s

We need to calculate the total initial kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^2+\dfrac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{i}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times300\times10^{-3}\times1^2+\dfrac{1}{2}\times600\times10^{-3}\times(0.75)^2

K.E_{i}=0.31875\ J

We need to calculate the total final kinetic energy

Using formula of kinetic energy

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2})v^2

Put the value into the formula

K.E_{f}=\dfrac{1}{2}\times(300\times10^{-3}+600\times10^{-3})\times(-0.5)^2

K.E_{f}=0.1125\ J

We need to calculate the energy lost during the collision

Using formula of energy lost

energy\ lost=\dfrac{0.31875-0.1125}{0.31875}

energy\ lost=\dfrac{11}{17}\ J

Hence, The fraction of the total initial kinetic energy is lost during the collision is \dfrac{11}{17}\ J

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

THE KINETIC ENERGY OF THE SMALLER CHILD IS LESS THAN THAT OF THE BIGGER CHILD

Explanation: Kinetic energy is the energy that is exerted on a body that is in motion, kinetic energy is affected by both the mass of the object and the velocity of the object.

Mathematically,Kinetic energy is represented as follows;

K.E=1/2MV^{2}

Where M represents the mass of the object in kilograms and V represents velocity of the moving object measured in meters per seconds.

The higher the weight of the object the higher the kinetic energy of the object which means the bigger child will have a higher kinetic energy than the smaller child.
