According to the statement " Collision <span>between two bodies in which the total kinetic energy of the two bodies after the collision is equal to their total kinetic energy before the collision."
The best answer is :
Option A " </span><span>BODY A COMES TO REST BODY B STARTS MOVING WITH INITIAL VELOCITY OF BODY A "</span>
After the great 1906 San Francisco earthquake, geolophysicistHarry Fielding Reid examined the displacement of the ground surface along the San Andreas Fault. He concluded that the quake must have been the result of the elastic reboundof the strain energy in the rocks on either side of the fault.
strain energy is 0. 5x force x (compression) X (compression)
There is a lot of force and a bit of compression when rocks squash up against other rocks causing earthquakes
Answer:
a. when the acceleration of the objects become negative
-- Accelerating at the rate of 8 m/s², Andy's speed
after 30 seconds is
(8 m/s²) x (30.0 s) = 240 m/s .
-- His average speed during that time is
(1/2) (0 + 240 m/s) = 120 m/s .
-- In 30 sec at an average speed of 120 m/s,
Andy will travel a distance of
(120 m/s) x (30 sec) = 3,600 m
= 3.6 km .
"But how ? ! ?", you ask.
How in the world can Andy leave a stop light and then
cover 3.6 km = 2.24 miles in the next 30 seconds ?
The answer is: His acceleration of 8 m/s², or about 0.82 G
is what does it for him.
At that rate of acceleration ...
-- Andy achieves "Zero to 60 mph" in 3.35 seconds,
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- He hits 100 mph in 5.59 seconds after jumping the light ...
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- He hits 200 mph in 11.2 seconds after jumping the light ...
and then he keeps accelerating.
-- After accelerating at 8 m/s² for 30 seconds, Andy and his
car are moving at 537 miles per hour !
We really don't know whether he keeps accelerating,
but we kind of doubt it.
A couple of observations in conclusion:
-- We can't actually calculate his displacement with the information given.
Displacement is the distance and direction between the starting- and
ending-points, and we're not told whether Andy maintains a straight line
during this tense period, or is all over the road, adding great distance
but not a lot of displacement.
-- It's also likely that sometime during this performance, he is pulled
over to the side by an alert cop in a traffic-control helicopter, and
never actually succeeds in accomplishing the given description.
