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.

Based on the given statement above, the correct answer would be FALSE. It is not true that range of motion is the distance an object can travel when separated from another object because range of motion or ROM is the distance--linear or angular--<span>that a movable object may normally travel while properly ATTACHED (not separated) to another. Hope this answer helps.</span>

Consider a large tank holding 1000 L of pure water into which a brine solution of salt begins to owat a constant rate of 6L/min.

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

T = 693.147 minutes

Explanation:

The tank is being continuously stirred. So let the salt concentration of the tank at some time t be x in units of kg/L.

Therefore, the total salt in the tank at time t = 1000x kg

Brine water flows into the tank at a rate of 6 L/min which has a concentration of 0.1 kg/L

Hence, the amount of salt that is added to the tank per minute = $(6\times0.1)kg/min=0.6kg/min$

Also, there is a continuous outflow from the tank at a rate of 6 L/min.

Hence, amount of salt subtracted from the tank per minute = 6x kg/min

Now, the rate of change of salt concentration in the tank = $\frac{dx}{dt}$

So, the rate of change of salt in the tank can be given by the following equation,

$1000\frac{dx}{dt} =0.6-6x$

or, $\int\limits^{0.05}_0 {\frac{1000}{0.6-6x} } \, dx =\int\limits^T_0 {} \, dt$

or, T = 693.147 min (time taken for the tank to reach a salt concentration

of 0.05 kg/L)

What is hooke's law? does it apply to elastic materials or to inelastic materials?

zysi [14]

When you talk about Hooke's law, it always have to do something with springs. Hooke's Law, from Robert Hooke, saw a relation between the force applied to the spring and the extension of its length. The equation is: F = kx, where k is the spring constant and x is the displacement of the original and stretched lengths. In other words, x is the length of deformation. Hence, the object must be elastic to come up with a displacement or deformation, in the first place. Then, the Hooke's Law is only applicable to elastic materials.

Find the force between 2C and -1C separated by a distance 1m. Indicate if it is an attractive force (negative) or a repulsive fo

telo118 [61]

Answer:

Explanation:

Its definitely an Attractive force since the two charges are Unlike.

From Coulombs Law

F=kq1q2/R²

Given

K=9x10^9

R=1m

q1=2C

q2=-1C

F=(9x10^9 x 2 x -1)/1²

F= - 1.8x10^10N. (Attractive).

How does changes in distance affect the gravitational pull between two objects? Describe and give one example.

maxonik [38]

The formula is

F_grav = G * m1 * m2 / r^2

G m1 and m2 are going to stay the same once chosen no matter what the distance is. The only thing that will change is the distance.

As the distance increases, the Gravitational Force will decrease. It will decrease by quite a bit.

As the distance decreases, the gravitational force will Increase.

The relationship is inverse. The moon travelling around the earth is one example. The earth travelling around the sun is another.
