Explanation:

In an elastic collision, two or more bodies are in contact with one another and there is no net loss of kinetic energy in the system. By the virtue of this, the bodies and objects do not stick together after they collide.

Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in an elastic collision. An example is when a football hits a wall.

For an inelastic collision, the bodies sticks together after they collide and there is a loss of kinetic energy after they collide. An example of this type of collision is when a gum is throw against a wall.

Calculate the maximum capillary rise/fall of mercury in a 0.5 mm radius glass capillary. Assume that the surface tension for mer

tekilochka [14]

Answer: 0.01 m

Explanation: The formulae for capillarity rise or fall is given below as

h = (2T×cosθ)/rpg

Where θ = angle mercury made with glass = 50°

T = surface tension = 0.51 N/m

g = acceleration due gravity = 9.8 m/s²

r = radius of tube = 0.5mm = 0.0005m

p = density of mercury.

h = height of rise or fall

From the question, specific gravity of density = 13.3

Where specific gravity = density of mercury/ density of water, where density of water = 1000 kg/m³

Hence density of mercury = 13.3×1000 = 13,300 kg/m³.

By substituting parameters, we have that

h = 2×0.51×cos 50/0.0005×9.8×13,300

h = 0.6556/65.17

h = 0.01 m

The small ball of mass m and its supporting wire become a simple pendulum when the horizontal cord is severed. Determine the rat

natali 33 [55]

Answer:

See the attached image and the explanation below

Explanation:

We must draw a schematic of the described problem, after the sketch it is necessary to make a free body diagram, at the time before and after cutting the cord.

These free body diagrams can be seen in the attached image.

First we perform a sum of forces on the x & y axes before cutting the cord, to be able to find the T tension of the wire. (This analysis can be seen in the attached image).

In this way we get the T-wire tension equation, before cutting.

Now we make another free body diagram, for the moment when the wire is cut (see in the attached diagram).

It is important to clarify that when the cord is cut, the system will no longer be in statically, therefore newton's second law will be used for summation of forces which will be equal to the product of mass by acceleration.

Finally with equations 1 and 2 we can find the K ratio.
