A skater is using very low friction rollerblades. A friend throws a Frisbee at her, on the straight line along which she is coas

ting. Describe each of the following events as an elastic, an inelastic, or a perfectly inelastic collision between the skater and the Frisbee.
Required:
a. She catches the Frisbee and holds it.
b. She tries to catch the Frisbee, but it bounces off her hands and falls to the ground in front of her.
c. She catches the Frisbee and immediately throws it back with the same speed (relative to the ground) to her friend.

Answer:

a)  perfectly inelastic,  b)  collision is inelastic,  c)   elastic  

Explanation:

In this exercise, it is asked to identify what type of shock occurs between the skater and the frisbee, for this we must define a system formed by the skater and the fribee, so that the forces during the crash have been internal and the amount of movement is preserved

Initial instant. Before the skater touches the frisbee

    p₀ = M v₁ + m v₂

where M and m are the masses of the skater and frisbee, respectively

for the final moment they give us several possibilities, in all case the moment is conserved

       p₀ = p_{f}

case a)

Final instant. grabs the frisbee and holds it

    p_{f} = (M + m) v '

     p₀ = p_{f}

We can see that this shock is perfectly inelastic, it holds the fressbee

case b)

final instant.

This case is similar to the previous one, but the final speed of fresbee is zero, therefore this collision is inelastic and the kinetic energy is not conserved.

case c)

final instant. Grab the fressbee and resend it

      p_{f} = M v_{1f} + m v_{2f}

this is an elastic Shock since the equivalent of a rebound of the fressbee, the kinetic energy is conserved.

4. How does a molecule differ from an atom
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

In a molecule, atoms are bonded together by single, double, or triple bonds. An atom has a nucleus surrounded by electrons. ... So another difference between atoms and molecules is that when similar atoms combine together in varying numbers, molecules of different properties can be formed.

Which type of comb would be best to use in the winter, a plastic comb or a glass comb? Explain using the Triboelectric series.
leonid [27]

Answer:

I'm not sure how to use it using the Series, but it would be the plastic comb

Explanation:

In the winter, it's likely to be cold and the glass would absorb that energy, also making it cold. in order to be able to hold it, you would need something warm, thus making the plastic one the better option as it is less likely to absorb the cold energy
