Answer:

inelastic collision

Explanation:

An inelastic collision, in contrast to an elastic collision, is a collision in which kinetic energy is not conserved due to the action of internal friction. In collisions of macroscopic bodies, some kinetic energy is turned into vibrational energy of the atoms, causing a heating effect, and the bodies are deformed

A child with mass of 25 kg gets into a toy car with mass of 80 kg on a playground, causing it to sink on its springs (with effec

Bess [88]

Answer:

The frequency of the oscillation is 0.9Hz

Explanation:

This problem bothers on simple harmonic motion of a spring

Given data

Mass of the child m= 25kg

Spring constant k=791 N/m

Amplitude a= 31cm

But the period of the motion as a result of the adults sholve is expressed as

T=2π√m/k

T=2*3.142√25/791

T=6.284√0.031

T=6.284*0.176

T=1.11 sec

But frequency F=1/T

F=1/1.11

F=0.9Hz

Ten identical steel wires have equal lengths L and equal "spring constants" k. The Young's modulus of each wire is Y. The wires

svlad2 [7]

Answer:

option (B)

Explanation:

Young's modulus is defined as the ratio of longitudinal stress to the longitudinal strain.

Its unit is N/m².

The formula for the Young's modulus is given by

$Y=\frac{F \times L}{A\times \delta L}$

where, F is the force applied on a rod, L is the initial length of the rod, ΔL is the change in length of the rod as the force is applied, A is the area of crossection of the rod.

It is the property of material of solid. So, when the 10 wires are co joined together to form a new wire of length 10 L, the material remains same so the young' modulus remains same.

A voltage V is applied to the primary coil of a step-up transformer with a 3:1 ratio of turns between its primary and secondary

Snezhnost [94]

Explanation:

Let $N_p\ and\ N_s$ are the number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p}{N_s}=\dfrac{1}{3}$

A resistor R connected to the secondary dissipates a power $P_s=100\ W$

For a transformer, $\dfrac{N_s}{N_p}=\dfrac{V_s}{V_p}$

$V_s=(\dfrac{N_s}{N_p})V_p$

$V_s=3V_p$ ...............(1)

The power dissipated through the secondary coil is :

$P_s=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$100\ W=\dfrac{V_s^2}{R}$

$V_p^2=\dfrac{100R}{9}$ .............(2)

Let $N_p'\ and\ N_s'$ are the new number of turns in primary and secondary coil of the transformer such that,

$\dfrac{N_p'}{N_s'}=\dfrac{1}{24}$

New voltage is :

$V_s'=(\dfrac{N_s'}{N_p'})V_p'$

$V_s'=24V_p$ ...............(3)

So, new power dissipated is $P_s'$

$P_s'=\dfrac{V_s'^2}{R}$

$P_s'=\dfrac{(24V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(V_p)^2}{R}$

$P_s'=24^2\times \dfrac{(\dfrac{100R}{9})}{R}$

$P_s'=6400\ Watts$

So, the new power dissipated by the same resistor is 6400 watts. Hence, this is the required solution.

You are on a boat which is crossing the prime meridian. the altitude of polaris is 50Âº.explain how you know the boat's location

Lerok [7]

The definition for the prime meridian is: The prime meridian with 0 degrees longitude runs through Greenwich. Polaris is the north star <span>at 50 degrees above the horizon, which means 50 degrees latitude.
</span>If you observe Polaris at 50 degrees of altitude, you are at latitude 50 North. You that's why you know that your boat's location is <span>50Âº north latitude and 0Âº longitude.</span>

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s into the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg initially at rest on a fric

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

All fraction of kinectic energy is lost to barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg

Explanation:

A ball of mass 0.50 kg is fired with velocity 160 m/s ...

The kinetic energy is given by 1/2mv²

Kinectic energy of the ball = 1/2 *0.5*160²

Kinectic energy = 1/4 *25600

Kinectic energy = 6400 joules.

If no energy is lost to fiction, and the ball sticks to a barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg with initial velocity zero, all kinetic energy is lost to the barrel of a spring gun of mass 1.8 kg.
