Answer:

The collision is inelastic

Explanation:

There are two kinds of collision; elastic collision and inelastic collision. In an elastic collision, both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved.

However, in an inelastic collision, kinetic energy is not conserved. So, when the bumper of two cars collide, the cars come to a stop because the collision is inelastic.

An object is traveling on a circle with a radius of 6 feet. If in 80 seconds a central angle of 9/4 radians is swept out, then f

trapecia [35]

Answer:

The angular speed of the object is 0.0281 rad/s

The linear speed of the object is 0.169 ft/s

Explanation:

Given;

radius of the circle, r = 6 ft

time of motion of the object around the circle, t = 80 s

central angle formed by the object during the motion, θ = 9/4 rad = 2.25 rad

The angular speed of the object is calculated as;

$\omega = \frac{\theta }{t} = \frac{2.25 \ rad}{80 \ s} = 0.0281 \ rad/s$

The linear speed of the object is calculated as;

v = ωr

v = 0.0281 rad/s x 6ft

v = 0.169 ft/s

g Calculate the maximum wavelength of light that will cause the photoelectric effect for potassium. Potassium has work function

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m, λ = 541.96 nm this is green ligh

Explanation:

The photoelectric effect was explained by Eintein assuming that the light was made up of particles called photons and these collided with the electrons taking them out of the material.

K = h f -Ф

where K is the kinetic energy of the ejected electrons, hf is the energy of the light quanta and fi is the work function of the material.

The speed of light is related to wavelength and frequency

c = λ / f

f = c /λ

we substitute

K = h c / λ - Φ

for the case that they ask us the kinetic energy of the electons is zero (K = 0)

h c / λ = Ф

λ = h c / Ф

we calculate

λ = 6.63 10⁻³⁴ 3 10⁸ / 3.67 10⁻¹⁸

λ = 5.4196 10⁻⁷m

let's take nm

lam = 541.96 nm

this is green light

What do we call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance

const2013 [10]

<u>We call changes between solid liquid and gaseous forms of a substance as phase change or change of state.</u>

<u>Explanation:</u>

To change a substance from one state to another, extreme temperatures or pressures are required. Sometimes when a substance doesn't change states we should use all the ideas when that happens. To create a solid, we should decrease the temperature by a huge amount and then add pressure. For example, oxygen will solidify at -361.8 degrees Fahrenheit at standard pressure. However, it will freeze at warmer temperatures when the pressure is increased.

Phase changes happen when a substance reach some special points. Sometimes when a liquid becomes a solid a freezing point or melting point is used to measure the temperature at which a liquid changes into a solid. Some of the phase changes are: Condensation, Freezing, Melting.
