Two balls with masses of 2.0 kg and 6.0 kg travel toward each other at speeds of 12 m/s and 4.0 m/s, respectively. If the balls

have a head-on, inelastic collision and the 2.0-kg ball recoils with a speed of 8.0 m/s, how much kinetic energy is lost in the collision

Answer:

The kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the first ball, m₁ = 2.0 kg

mass of the second ball, m₂ = 6.0 kg

initial speed of the first ball, u₁ = 12 m/s

initial speed of the second ball, u₂ = 4 m/s

let v be the final velocity of the two balls after the inelastic collision

Apply the principle of conservation of linear momentum;

m₁u₁ + m₂u₂ = v(m₁ + m₂)

2 x 12 + 6 x 4 = v(2 + 6)

48 =  8v

48 / 8 = v

v = 6 m/s

The initial kinetic energy of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₁ = ¹/₂m₁u₁² + ¹/₂m₂u₂²

K.E₁ = ¹/₂(2)(12²) + ¹/₂(6)(4)²

K.E₁ = 144 + 48

K.E₁ = 192 J

The final kinetic of the balls is calculated as;

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(m₁ + m₂)(v²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(2 + 6)(6²)

K.E₂ = ¹/₂(8)(6²)

K.E₂ = 144 J

The lost in kinetic energy of the balls is K.E₂ - K.E₁ = 144 J - 192 J = -48 J

Therefore, the kinetic energy lost in the collision is 48 J

What quantities are related by Ohm's law? Check all that apply. voltage conductivity current resistance insulation
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer: Current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

Explanation:

A law which states that electric current is directly proportional to voltage and inversely proportional to resistance is called Ohm's law.

Mathematically, it is represented as follows.

I = \frac{V}{R}

where,

I = current

V = voltage

R = resistance

This means that the quantities related by Ohm's law include current, voltage and resistance.

Thus, we can conclude that current, resistance and voltage are the quantities which are related by Ohm's law.

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light. if some of the blue
Anestetic [448]

The efficiency of a light source is the percentage of its energy input that gets radiated as visible light if some of the blue light in an led is used to cause a fluorescent material to glow the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

How efficient is LED?

Different wavelengths that correlate to different visible colours are used in LED light therapy. Various shades pierce the skin at different rates.

  1. Your skin's outermost layer is impacted by blue light.
  2. Yellow light is more enveloping.
  3. Red light penetrates your skin more deeply.
  4. The deepest penetrating light is near-infrared.

Different LED hues have various effects. For instance, according to experts red LED light therapy has the potential to reduce inflammation and boost collagen formation, which declines with age and is crucial for maintaining youthful-looking skin.

Acne-causing bacteria may be destroyed by a blue LED light therapy (P. acnes).

Hence the answer is the overall efficiency of the LED decreases.

zmey [24]
In order for Greg to safely drain the water out of the noodles, he should use potholders or any thing that is does not conduct heat or transfer heat. Some pots are also equipped with handles that are made of plastics for safely transferring of its content to another container.
