Answer:
c)
Explanation:
A collision is said to be elastic when the total kinetic energy is the same after the collision. The speed of objects that are stuck together will always be less than the initial speed of the object that was in motion given that the other particle was at rest. It is because the kinetic energy of the system was due to the moving object. The objects have a greater overall mass when they are stuck. If the kinetic energy is the same and the mass increases, the velocity must decrease.
Depending on the height of the building they can break due to impact on the floor.
Answer:
r1 = 5*10^10 m , r2 = 6*10^12 m
v1 = 9*10^4 m/s
From conservation of energy
K1 +U1 = K2 +U2
0.5mv1^2 - GMm/r1 = 0.5mv2^2 - GMm/r2
0.5v1^2 - GM/r1 = 0.5v2^2 - GM/r2
M is mass of sun = 1.98*10^30 kg
G = 6.67*10^-11 N.m^2/kg^2
0.5*(9*10^4)^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(5*10^10)) = 0.5v2^2 - (6.67*10^-11*1.98*10^30/(6*10^12))
v2 = 5.35*10^4 m/s
