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

If the copper is drawn into wire whose diameter is 6.50 mm, how many feet of copper can be obtained from the ingot? the density
Kobotan [32]
Assume that an ingot of copper has a mass of 9.1 kg or 9100 g.

The cross-sectional area of the copper wire with diameter of 6.5 mm (or 0.65 cm) is
A = (π/4)*(0.65 cm)² = 0.3318 cm²

The density of copper is given as 8.94 g/cm³.
If the length of copper wire is L cm, then 
(0.3318 cm²)*(L cm)*(8.94 g/cm³) = 9100 g
L = 9100/(0.3318*8.94) = 3.0678 x 10³ cm

Note that
1 cm = 1/2.54 in = 1/2.54 in = 0.3937 in
        = 0.3937/12 = 0.03281 ft

Therefore
L = (3.0678 x 10³ cm)*(0.03281 ft/cm) = 100.65 ft

Answer: 100.65 ft

32. A ball is going to fall downward through a vacuum chamber. If it has maximum potential energy at the top and maximum kinetic
QveST [7]

Half maximum velocity occurs at the point of half maximum kinetic energy which is exactly halfway down.

<h3>Conservation of energy</h3>

The principle of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed but can be converted from one form to another.

M.A = K.E + P.E

At the maximum height, the kinetic energy of the ball while potential energy is maximum.

At the half-way down, the ball kinetic energy of the ball is equal to the potential energy.

Thus, half maximum velocity occurs at the point of half maximum kinetic energy which is exactly halfway down.

What is the difference between clastic and bioclast?
Grace [21]
The main difference is the source of the sediment that the rock is formed from. Clastic sedimentary rocks are formed mostly from silicate sediment derived by the breakdown of pre-existing rocks. Bioclastic rocks are formed by the accumulation of fragmented organic remains (such as shell-sand) - i.e. the sediment is of biological rather than non-biological origin.

In the final situation below, the 8.0 kg box has been launched with a speed of 10.0 m/s across a frictionless surface. Find the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.

Explanation:

Given;

mass of the box, m = 8.0 kg

final speed of the box, v = 10 m/s

Apply the principle of conservation of energy to determine the energy of the spring at the start;

Final Kinetic energy of the box = initial elastic potential energy of the spring

K.E = Ux

¹/₂mv² = Ux

¹/₂ x 8 x 10² = Ux

400 J = Ux

Therefore, the energy of the spring at the start is 400 J.
