The change in the kinetic energy refers to the work done in displacing a body, thus, the change in the kinetic energy of an object refers to the work done on the object.
The correct formula to use is:
W = Initial kinetic energy - Final kinetic energy;
Where, W = change in kinetic energy
Final kinetic energy and initial kinetic energy = 1/2 MV^2
Initial velocity = 15 m/s
Final velocity = 13.5 m/s
Initial mass = 0.650 kg
Final mass = 0.950 kg
W = 1/2 [0.650* (15 *15)] - 1/2 [0.950 * (13.5 * 13.5)]
W = 146.25 - 173.13 = 26.88
Therefore, the change in kinetic energy is 26.88 J.
The negative sign has to be ignored, because change in kinetic energy can not be negative.

Answer:
The fraction of kinetic energy lost in the collision in term of the initial energy is 0.49.
Explanation:
As the final and initial velocities are known it is possible then the kinetic energy is possible to calculate for each instant.
By definition, the kinetic energy is:
k = 0.5*mV^2
Expressing the initial and final kinetic energy for cars A and B:


Since the masses are equals:

For the known velocities, the kinetics energies result:




The lost energy in the collision is the difference between the initial and final kinectic energies:


Finally the relation between the lost and the initial kinetic energy:


Answer:
1) The net electric field at any location inside a block of copper is zero if the copper block is in equilibrium.
2) In equilibrium, there is no net flow of mobile charged particles inside a conductor.
3) If the net electric field at a particular location inside a piece of metal is not zero, the metal is not in equilibrium.
Explanation:
1) and 3) A block of copper is a conductor. The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest, so the intensity of the electric field at all interior points of the conductor is zero, otherwise, the charges would move resulting in an electric current.
2) The charged particles on a conductor in equilibrium are at rest.
<u>ALL of the following work assumes NO AIR RESISTANCE:</u>

Pascal's law of fluid transfer states that when there is an increase in fluid pressure, the rest of the extrinsic variables also increases. For example, in a flow of liquid in an orifice, there is a contraction of diameter in the orifice part. The fluid that will go in there increases in pressure and thereby an increase in velocity as well.
