When a moving object collides with an object that isn't moving, what happens to the kinetic energy of each object?

The kinetic energy of the object being hit will increase and the the potential energy will decrease. The kinetic energy of the object that collided with the other said object will increase and there will be not potential energy. This is my personal knowledge on the matter.

Although the internet states otherwise:

In the extreme case, multiple objects collide, stick together, and remain motionless after the collision. Since the objects are all motionless after the collision, the final kinetic energy is also zero; the loss of kinetic energy is a maximum.

Answer:

Since the objects are all motionless after the collision, the final kinetic energy is also zero; the loss of kinetic energy is a maximum. Such a collision is said to be perfectly inelastic.

Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

$C = 1.77 \times 10^{-4} F$

Explanation:

As we know that in AC circuit we have

$V = i x_c$

here we have

V = 59 V

i = 5.05 A

so we will have

$x_c = \frac{59}{5.05}$

$x_c = 11.68 ohm$

also we know that

$x_c = \frac{1}{\omega C}$

here we will have

$11.68 = \frac{1}{(2\pi 77)C}$

$C = 1.77 \times 10^{-4} F$

How does the direction of friction relate to the direction of motion

lesya692 [45]

It reacts to the motion. If the mass hanging from the pulley was overwhelmingly heavier than the mass on the ramp, it'll obviously pull the ramp mass up and thus friction would be trying to oppose this and vice versa.

5. Which unit of electricity does the work in a circuit?

Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

Volt

Explanation:

Voltage is what makes electric charges move. ... Voltage is also called, in certain circumstances, electromotive force (EMF). Voltage is an electrical potential difference, the difference in electric potential between two places. The unit for electrical potential difference, or voltage, is the volt.

The ohm is defined as an electrical resistance between two points of a conductor when a constant potential difference of one volt, applied to these points, produces in the conductor a current of one ampere, the conductor not being the seat of any electromotive force.

The coulomb (symbolized C) is the standard unit of electric charge in the International System of Units (SI). ... In terms of SI base units, the coulomb is the equivalent of one ampere-second. Conversely, an electric current of A represents 1 C of unit electric charge carriers flowing past a specific point in 1 s.

An ampere is a unit of measure of the rate of electron flow or current in an electrical conductor. One ampere of current represents one coulomb of electrical charge (6.24 x 1018 charge carriers) moving past a specific point in one second.
