Explanation:

A perfectly elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed to some other form of energy in the collision.

How were lion fish introduced to the areas around Florida

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

<h3>I think this will answer your question. This is information is not mine and this rightfully belongs to <u>columbia.edu.</u></h3><h3><u /></h3>

This brightly colored fish is native to the Indo-Pacific from Australia north to southern Japan and south to Micronesia. The lionfish is usually found in coral reefs of tropical waters, hovering in caves or near crevices. Native regions as well as Savannah, Georgia; Palm Beach and Boca Raton, Florida; Long Island, New York; Bermuda and possibly Charleston. In southern Florida and off the coast of the Carolinas in early to mid 1990s.

Consider dropping a ball from rest. This ball moves from astate of high gravitational potential energy to one of lowgravitationa

Leni [432]

Answer:

From the negative to the positive cable.

Explanation:

The electrons have negative charge, which means that the negative terminal of the battery will suply the electrons, thus they are present in excess on the negative cable and will jump from it to the positive cable. This current direction is called real current.

HELP ASAP! <br>why is rolling friction much smaller than sliding friction? Also give an example.

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

Rolling friction is much smaller than sliding friction because Rolling friction is considerably less than sliding friction as there is no work done against the body that is rolling by the force of friction. For a body to start rolling a small amount of friction is required at the point where it rests on the other surface, else it would slide instead of roll.

Rolling Friction example: Anything with weels (cars,skateboards) or a ball rooling.

Sliding Friction example: Bicycle brakes,skinning your knee walking,writing.

Suppose you are on a cart, initially at rest, which rides on a frictionless horizontal track. You throw a ball at a vertical sur

Len [333]

Answer:

$F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b$

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b$

Or equivalently:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0$

Where: $V_c$ represent the speed of the car and $V_b$ the speed of the ball

$m_c$ represent the mass of the car

$m_b$ represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.

Explanation:

If we assume that we have the situation in the figure attached.

For this case we assume that the momentum changes are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, so then we satisfy this:

$F_c t_ c = -F_b t_b$

And the forces are equal but in the opposite direction. So then we can write by general rule:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} = -m_b \Delta V_b$

Or equivalently:

$m_c \Delta V_{c} +m_b \Delta V_b =0$

Where: $V_c$ represent the speed of the car and $V_b$ the speed of the ball

$m_c$ represent the mass of the car

$m_b$ represent the mass of the ball

Since the ball is moving to the left and we assume that the total momentum not changes then the car need to move to the right in order to satisfy the equation and satisfy the balance.

By conservation of the momentum the car will move to the right since the ball is moves to the left.

So then the correct option for this case is :

A.Yes, and it moves to the right.
