ITS A REALLY BAD ACIDENT

Radda [10]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities inelastic collisions.

Explanation:

Suppose two similar trolleys are traveling toward each other with equal speed. They collide, bouncing off each other with no loss in speed. This collision is perfectly elastic because no energy has been lost.  In reality, examples of perfectly elastic collisions are not part of our everyday experience. Some collisions between atoms in gases are examples of perfectly elastic collisions. However, there are some examples of collisions in mechanics where the energy lost can be negligible. These collisions can be considered elastic, even though they are not perfectly elastic. Collisions of rigid billiard balls or the balls in Newton's cradle are two such examples.

Explain why the roller coaster’s potential energy is greater at point 1 than at point 4.
lesya692 [45]
Point 1 is PROBABLY higher up than point 4.

Another possibility is that on the way from Point 1 to point 4,
a lot of people are falling out of the coaster.

We have no way to tell, because you neglected to show us
the picture that goes with this question.  It's important.

A car traveling 36 mi/h accelerates uniformly
iren2701 [21]

First convert from mi/h to ft/s. There are 5280 ft to 1 mi, and 3600 s to 1 h, so

36 mi/h = (36 mi/h) * (5280 ft/mi) * (1/3600 h/s) = 52.8 ft/s

Let <em>a</em> be the acceleration of the car. The car's speed at time <em>t</em> is

<em>v</em> = 52.8 ft/s + <em>a</em> <em>t</em>

so that after 5.4 s, it attains a speed of

<em>v</em> = 52.8 ft/s + (5.4 s) <em>a</em>

Recall that

<em>v</em>² - <em>u</em>² = 2 <em>a</em> ∆<em>x</em>

where <em>u</em> is the car's initial velocity and ∆<em>x</em> is the distance it's traveled.

We have

(52.8 ft/s + (5.4 s) <em>a</em>)² - (52.8 ft/s)² = 2 <em>a</em> (595 ft)

Omitting units, this equation reduces to

(52.8 + 5.4 <em>a</em>)² - 52.8² = 1190 <em>a</em>

==>  29.16 <em>a</em>² - 619.76 <em>a</em> = 0

==>  29.16 <em>a</em> - 619.76 = 0

==>  29.16 <em>a</em> = 619.76

==>  <em>a</em> ≈ 21.25 ft/s²

The sharper the sound is the smaller the frequency of a vibrating body true or false​
natima [27]
  • Answer:
  • True....
  • Explanation:
  • Amplitude determines the loudness of sound. Loudness is proportional to the square of the amplitude of the vibrating body which produces sound. ... Less the frequency, deep is the sound.
