Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
To solve this problem we must rely on the equations of the simple harmonic movement that define the period as a function of length and gravity as
Where
l = Length
g = Gravity
Re-arrange to find L,
Our values are given as
Replacing,
Therefore the height would be 25.348m
Answer:
The deceleration is 
Explanation:
From the question we are told that
The height above firefighter safety net is 
The length by which the net is stretched is 
From the law of energy conservation
Where 
is the kinetic energy of the person before jumping which equal to zero(because to kinetic energy at maximum height )
and 
is the potential energy of the before jumping which is mathematically represented at
and 
is the kinetic energy of the person just before landing on the safety net which is mathematically represented at
and 
is the potential energy of the person as he lands on the safety net which has a value of zero (because it is converted to kinetic energy )
So the above equation becomes
=> 
substituting values
Applying the equation o motion
Now the final velocity is zero because the person comes to rest
So
It has 99 electrons because an element has the same number of protons and electrons
Answer:
Explanation:
Given:
- mass of water,
- initial temperature of water,
- final temperature of water,
- specific heat of water,
<u>Now the amount of heat energy required:</u>
Since all of the mechanical energy is being converted into heat, therefore the same amount of mechanical energy is required.
