In my view, correct answer should look like this: Although wave power does not produce pollution, some people may not want to invest in it because it is <span>prone to storm damage and limited to particular areas of the ocean.</span>
Answer: v = 2.24 m/s
Explanation: The <u>Law</u> <u>of</u> <u>Conservation</u> <u>of</u> <u>Energy</u> states that total energy is constant in any process and, it cannot be created nor destroyed, only transformed.
So, in the toy launcher, the energy of the compressed spring, called <u>Elastic</u> <u>Potential</u> <u>Energy (PE)</u>, transforms into the movement of the plastic sphere, called <u>Kinetic</u> <u>Energy (KE)</u>. Since total energy must be constant:

where the terms with subscript i are related to the initial of the process and the terms with subscript f relates to the final process.
The equation is calculated as:






v = 2.24
The maximum speed the plastic sphere will be launched is 2.24 m/s.
Gain in decibels is given by;
Gain db = 10*log (Po/Pi), where Po = Power output, Pin = Power input
Substituting;
Gain in db = 10 * log (50/5) = 10 db
Answer:
1. Elastic collision
2. Inelastic collision
Explanation:
Elastic collision: collision is said to be elastic if total kinetic energy is not conserved and if there is a rebound after collision
the collision is described by the equation bellow

Inelastic collision: this type of collision occurs when the total kinetic energy of a body is conserved or when the bodies sticks together and move with a common velocity
the collision is described by the equation bellow
