Hookes law state that provided that the elastic limit is not exceeded, the extension is directly proportional to the force
Answer:
Explanation:
We shall apply law of conservation of momentum to know velocity after collision . Let it be v .
total momentum before collision = total momentum after collision
15 x 1.5 - 12 x .75 = ( 15 + 12 ) v
v = .5 m /s
kinetic energy before collision
1/2 x 15 x 1.5² + 1/2 x 12 x .75²
= 16.875 + 3.375
= 20.25 J
kinetic energy after collision
= 1/2 x ( 15 + 12 ) x .5²
= 3.375 J
Loss of energy = 16.875 J
This energy appear as heat and sound energy that is produced during collision .
Stars form inside relatively dense concenstrations of interstellar gas and dust known as molecular clouds.
