Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.  

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.  

Hence, option B is correct

The mass of a meteoroid was found to be 1.24 × 107 kilograms. Write the mass in standard notation.
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The value we are given in the question is 1.24 * 10^7. This form of writing number is called scientific notation. The standard notation is the normal, regular way of writing numbers. Scientific notation and standard notations are interchangeable.

1.24 * 10^7 written in standard notation will be = 1.24 * 10000000 = 12400000.

Thus, the mass of the meteoroid was 12400000 kg.

Air escaping out from an air hose at a gas station always feels cool. Why? ​
kati45 [8]

Answer:

The air is contained at a high pressure in the tube. When it escapes from a small orifice, it suddenly expands. A large amount of its heat is absorbed in the process of expansion resulting in considerable fall in its temperature. This is why the escaping air feels cold.

Does gravity have an effect on the potential difference of a battery?
Sonja [21]

Answer: The correct answer is "No".

Explanation:

Gravity: It is the force which causes object to fall on the earth. It is the force which attracts bodies towards each other.

Potential difference: It is defined as the potential acting between the two points. The work done in moving the unit positive charge from one location to the another location.

The potential difference in battery is caused by the electrodes. There are two terminals in battery: Negative terminal which is at lower potential and Positive terminal which is at higher potential. It forces the electrons to flow in the circuit which constitutes the current.

The gravity and the potential difference have no relation between them.

Therefore, gravity have no effect on the potential difference of a battery.

A 7-kg bowling ball moving at 4 m/s strikes a 1 kg bowling pin. If the ball slows to 2 m/s in 0.05 s, how much force does it exe
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

280 N

Explanation:

acceleration = v2-v1 / time taken = (2-4 )/ 0.05 = -40 m/s^2  ( neg sign indicates slowing down )

force exerted = ma = 7 kg x -40 m/s^2 = - 280 N ( neg sign means opposite direction of initial velocity )

since the 7 kg ball is slowing down, the  direction of force will be opposite of the initial velocity , and it will be 280 N
