Answer:

Sonia's grandfather was not able to see clearly after returning from his walk on a bright sunny day. He was about to hit a chair when Sonia held him and guided him to the nearby sofa, in sunny environment grandfather's eye is set according to high brightness, his pupils become small to lower the number of light rays entering his eye, when he returned from sunny environment to his house which was having low brightness so the pupils should enlarge to absorb more light to see clearly but due to old age his Ciliary muscle of the eye would have worn out and due to this poor coordination the image was not clear.

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Decreases.

Explanation:

The rise in temperature of gas increases the kinetic energy of its molecules and they rush out of water instead of dissolving similarly as air rushes out of boiling water in form of bubbles

A 95kg fullback (football player for those not into sports) moving south with a speed of 5.0 m/s has a perfectly inelastic colli
Lunna [17]

Answer:

a.  v=3.11mls, 29.4^{0}

b.   K.E =-697.8J

Explanation:

To calculate the values in the  question, a deep understanding of perfect inelastic collision is important.

When two bodies undergo inelastic collision, two important parameters must be well understood i.e

Momentum: the momentum is always conserved in perfectly inelastic collision. i.e the total momentum after collision is the sum of the individual momentum before collision

Kinetic energy: Kinetic energy is not conserved due to dissipative force.

a.To calculate the velocity, we first find the total momentum before collision

Momentum of player 1 p_{1} =mv=95kg*5m/s\\p_{1} =475kgm/s\\

Momentum of player 2 p_{2} =mv=90kg*3m/s\\p_{1} =270kgm/s\\

Hence the total momentum p_{12}=p_{1}+p_{2}\\

Note, since the direction of movement before collision is due south and  due north respectively we have to represent the velocity using the rectangular coordinate

Hence  p_{12}=(m_{1}+m_{2})v=p_{1}i+p_{2}j\\

(95+90)v=475i+270j\\

v=2.57i+1.45j\\

solving for the resultant velocity, we have

v=\sqrt{2.75^{2} +1.45^{2}}\\ v=3.11mls

To calculate the direction of movement, we have

\alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{v_{j} }{v_{i}}\\  \alpha =tan^{-1}=\frac{1.45}{2.57}\\\alpha =29.4^{0}

b. to calculate the decrease in total kinetic energy, before collision, the total kinetic was

K.E_{initial} =\frac{1}{2}m_{1}v_{1}^{2}+\frac{1}{2}m_{2}v_{2}^{2}.\\K.E_{initial} =((1/2)*95*5^{2})+((1/2)*90*3^{2})\\K.E_{initial} =1187.5+405\\K.E_{initial} =1592.5J\\

And the final kinetic energy after collision is

K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(m_{1}+m_{2} )v^{2}\\  K.E_{final} =\frac{1}{2}(95+90)* 3.11^{2}\\ K.E_{final} =894.7J

The decrease in Kinetic energy is

K.E =K.E_{final}- K.E_{initial}=894.7-1592.5

K.E =-697.8J

The negative sign indicate a decrease in Kinetic energy
