Answer:
In an elastic collision:
- There is no external net force acting. Thus, Momentum before and after collision is equal. Momentum remains conserved.
- Total energy always remains conserved as energy cannot be created nor destroyed. It can change from one form to another.
- There is no lost due to friction in elastic collision. So the kinetic energy is also conserved.
- Velocities may change after collision. If the masses are equal, the velocities interchange.
When one object is stationary:
Final velocity of object 1:
v₁ = (m₁ - m₂)u₁/(m₁ +m₂)
Final velocity of object 2:
v₂ = (2 m₁ u₁)/(m₁+m₂) =
- Objects do not stick together in elastic collision. They stick together in inelastic collision.
- One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.
Thus, conditions for an elastic collision:
- Energy is conserved.
- Velocities may change.
- Momentum is conserved.
- Kinetic energy is conserved.
- One object may be stationary before the elastic collision.
Answer:
Potential energy. Releasing it, the potential energy would convert into motion, kinetic energy.
Potential energy is when an object has some sort of potential eg. for motion such as in this example.
Answer:
h f = W + KE
Input energy equals work function plus KE of emitted electron
W = 6.63E-34 * 2.5E15 - 6.3 * 1.6E-19
W = 6.63 * 2.5 * 10^-19 - 10.1 * E-19 ev (1ev = 1.6E-19 J)
W = (16.6 - 10.1)E-19 = 6.5E-19 J
h f = 6.5E-19 J for electrons to be emitted with zero KE
f = 6.5E-19 / 6.63E-34 = .98E-15 / sec = 9.8E-14 / sec (threshold)
Answer:
Temperature is the kinetic energy of the particles of a substance.
Explanation:
The more kinetic energy a particle has the higher it's temperature. In the case of the atmosphere, which is what we are primarily concerned with in Meteorology, we measure this using a mercury thermometer (in certain situations we use an alcohol thermometer and of course modern times have given us things like dewcells and digital thermometers but we always go back to the mercury thermometer for accuracy).
Answer:
Because the angle of the sun moves/rotates in the summer, the sun's rays move their angle and impact the earth.
