Answer:
Option (b) is correct.
Explanation:
Elastic collision is defined as a collision where the kinetic energy of the system remains same. Both linear momentum and kinetic energy are conserved in case of an elastic collision.
Inelastic collision is defined as a collision where kinetic energy of the system is not conserved whereas the linear momentum is conserved. This loss of kinetic energy may due to the conversion to thermal energy or sound energy or may be due to the deformation of the materials colliding with each other.
As given in the problem, before the collision, total momentum of the system is 
and the kinetic energy is 
. After the collision, the total momentum of the system is , but the kinetic energy is reduced to 
. So some amount of kinetic energy is lost during the collision.
Therefor the situation describes an inelastic collision (and it could NOT be elastic).
Answer:
There are three ways an object can accelerate: a change in velocity, a change in direction, or a change in both velocity and direction.
Explanation:
Not what I'd call 'fast' at all.
Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance) .
Speed = (5 meters) / (10 seconds)
<em>Speed = 0.5 meter per second</em> .
That's like about 1.1 mile per hour .
Normal walking speed is considered to be around 1.4 m/s ... about 3.1 mph, or 14 meters in 10 seconds.
I've got a grandson who hasn't even turned 1 yet. He crawls and doesn't walk, but if you only cover 5m in 10s, he'd leave you in the dust pretty quick.
No not all, because not all electrical field attract and repel
Fortunately, 'force' is a vector. So if you know the strength and direction
of each force, you can easily addum up and find the 'resultant' (net) force.
When we talk in vectors, one newton forward is the negative of
one newton backward. Hold that thought, while I slog through
the complete solution of the problem.
(100 N forward) plus (50 N backward)
= (100 N forward) minus (50 N forward)
= 50 N forward .
That's it.
Is there any part of the solution that's not clear ?
