jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

Option B, Some of the cars' kinetic energy was converted to sound and heat energy.

Explanation:

In an elastic collision, no energy is lost during and after collision. Thus, it can be said that in an elastic collision both momentum and kinetic energy remains conserved.

While in non-elastic collision, kinetic energy of the system is lost. However, the momentum of the system is conserved. Generally, during and after collision some of the kinetic energy is lost as thermal energy, sound energy etc.

Hence, option B is correct

The number of players on a regulation Basketball Team?

mixer [17]

Basketball is played with two teams, with 4 players from each team on the court at one time. The maximum number of players on the bench differs by league. In international play, a maximum of 7 players are allowed on the bench, resulting in a roster of 12 players.

I hope this helps!

a) $4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

b) 0.110 megatons

c) 8.46 bombs

Explanation:

a)

The energy lost by the meteorite is equal to the difference between its final kinetic energy and its initial kinetic energy:

$\Delta K=K_f-K_i$

Which can be rewritten as:

$\Delta K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2-\frac{1}{2}mu^2$

where:

$m=3.2\cdot 10^6 kg$ is the mass of the meteorite

$v=0$ is the final speed of the meteorite

$u=17 km/s = 17,000 m/s$ is the initial speed of the meteorite

Substituting the values into the equation, we found the loss in energy of the meteorite:

$\Delta K=0-\frac{1}{2}(3.2\cdot 10^6)(17000)^2=-4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

So, the energy lost by the meteorite is $4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

b)

The energy equivalent to 1 megaton of TNT is

$E_{TNT}=4.2\cdot 10^{15} J$

Here the energy lost by the meteorite is

$E=4.62\cdot 10^{14} J$

Therefore, in order to write the energy lost by the meteorite as a multiple of the energy of 1 megaton of TNT, we have to divide the energy lost by the meteorite by the energy equivalent to 1 TNT; we find:

$\frac{E}{E_{TNT}}=\frac{4.62\cdot 10^{14}}{4.2\cdot 10^{15}}=0.110$

So, the energy lost by the meteorite corresponds to 0.110 megatons.

c)

The energy of one atomic bomb explosion in Hiroshima is equal to

$E'=13 kt$ (13 kilotons)

which corresponds to

$E'=0.013 Mt$ (0.013 megatons)

Here the energy of the meteorite is equal to

$E=0.110 Mt$ (0.110 megatons)

Therefore, we can find how many Hiroshima bombs are equivalent to teh meteorite impact by using the following rules of three:

$\frac{1 bomb}{0.013 Mt}=\frac{x bombs}{0.110 Mt}\\x=\frac{1\cdot 0.110}{0.013}=8.46$

So, 8.46 bombs.

Viewed from a distance, how would a flashing red light appear as it fell into a black hole?.

Pachacha [2.7K]

Explanation:

Light rays that pass close to the black hole get caught and cannot escape. so what ends up happening to the light is that it starts bending due to the strong gravitational force of the black hole.
