Options:
(a) Total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.
(c) Both A and B are true.
(d) Neither A nor B are true.
Answer:
(b) Total momentum of the system is conserved.
Explanation:
An inelastic collision is a type of collision in which momentum is conserved and kinetic energy is not conserved. That is, there is loss of kinetic energy.
In an inelastic collision:
Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision
An example of inelastic collision is seen in the ballistic pendulum, The ballistic pendulum is a device in which a projectile such as a bullet is fired into a suspended heavy wooden stationary block.
Given:
Height of tank = 8 ft
and we need to pump fuel weighing 52 lb/ 
to a height of 13 ft above the tank top
Solution:
Total height = 8+13 =21 ft
pumping dist = 21 - y
Area of cross-section = 
= 
=16
Now,
Work done required = 
= 
= 832
![[ 21y ]_{0}^{8} - [\frac{y^{2}}{2}]_{0}^{8}\\](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5B%2021y%20%5D_%7B0%7D%5E%7B8%7D%20-%20%5B%5Cfrac%7By%5E%7B2%7D%7D%7B2%7D%5D_%7B0%7D%5E%7B8%7D%5C%5C)
)
= 113152 = 355477 ft-lb
Therefore work required to pump the fuel is 355477 ft-lb
number of protons in a nucleus
Momentum is mass times velocity of the object
p = m • v
p = (7700 kg)(14 m/s)
p = 107809 kg m/s
