Two hoops, starting from rest, roll down identical inclined planes. The work done by nonconservative forces, such as air resiste

Maurinko [17]

Answer: both hoops have the same kinetic energy at the bottom of the incline.

Explanation:

If we assume no work done by non conservative forces (like friction) , the total mechanical energy must be conserved.

K1 + U1 = K2 + U2

If both hoops start from rest, and we choose the bottom of the incline to be the the zero reference level for gravitational potential energy, then

K1 = 0 and U2 = 0

⇒ ΔK = ΔU = m g. h

If both inclines have the same height, and both hoops have the same mass m, the change in kinetic energy, must be the same for both hoops.

A comet is traveling through space with speed 3.01 ✕ 104 m/s when it encounters an asteroid that was at rest. The comet and the

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: $8.493(10)^{-3} m/s$

Explanation:

According to the conservation of linear momentum principle, the initial momentum $p_{i}$ (before the collision) must be equal to the final momentum $p_{f}$ (after the collision):

$p_{i}=p_{f}$ (1)

In addition, the initial momentum is:

$p_{i}=m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}$ (2)

Where:

$m_{1}=1.71(10)^{14} kg$ is the mass of the comet

$m_{2}=6.06(10)^{20} kg$ is the mass of the asteroid

$V_{1}=3.01(10)^{4} m/s$ is the velocity of the comet, which is positive

$V_{2}=0 m/s$ is the velocity of the asteroid, since it is at rest

And the final momentum is:

$p_{f}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f}$ (3)

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final velocity

Then :

$m_{1}V_{1}+m_{2}V_{2}=(m_{1}+m_{2})V_{f}$ (4)

Isolating $V_{f}$ :

$V_{f}=\frac{m_{1}V_{1}}{m_{1}+m_{2}}$ (5)

$V_{f}=\frac{(1.71(10)^{14} kg)(3.01(10)^{4} m/s)}{1.71(10)^{14} kg+6.06(10)^{20} kg}$

Finally:

$V_{f}=8.493(10)^{-3} m/s$ This is the final velocity, which is also in the positive direction.

A slinky is stretched by two forces. When the forces are removed, the slinky returns to its original length. The slinky has been

e-lub [12.9K]

Answer: elastically deformed or non-permanently deformed

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, there are two types of deformations:

-Plastic deformation (also called irreversible or permanent deformation), in which the material does not return to its original form after removing the applied force, therefore it is said that the material was permanently deformed.

This is because the material undergoes irreversible thermodynamic changes while it is subjected to the applied forces.

-Elastic deformation (also called reversible or non-permanent deformation), in which the material returns to its original shape after removing the applied force that caused the deformation.

In this case the material also undergoes thermodynamic changes, but these are reversible, causing an increase in its internal energy by transforming it into elastic potential energy.

Therefore, the situation described in the question is related to elastic deformation.
