Is a football tackle an elastic or inelastic collision and why?

Physics
1 answer:
QveST [7]3 years ago
3 0

If the kinetic energy of an object changes, then the collision is considered inelastic. This is regardless of whether the objects sticks together or not.

My best answer for this question would be D) inelastic, because kinetic energy is not conserved.

We can tell from the collision that it is not elastic.

Momentum is is conserved, it transfers to the other player.

Kinetic energy is not conserved, at it turns into internal friction.

I hope this helps! :)

A projectile is launched horizontally from a height of 8.0 m. The projectile travels 6.5 m before hitting the ground.
lozanna [386]
You can find

1) time to hit the ground
2) initial velocity
3) speed when it hits the ground

Equations

Vx = Vxo

x = Vx * t

Vy = Vyo + gt

Vyo = 0

Vy = gt

y = yo - Vyo - gt^2 / 2

=> yo - y = gt^2 / 2

1) time to hit the ground

=> 8.0 = g t^2 / 2 => t^2 = 8.0m * 2 / 9.81 m/s^2 = 1.631 s^2

=> t = √1.631 s^2 = 1.28 s

2) initial velocity

Vxo = x / t = 6.5m / 1.28s = 5.08 m/s

3) speed when it  hits the ground

Vy = g*t = 9.81 m/s * 1.28s = 12.56 m/s

V^2 = Vy^2 + Vx^2 = (12.56 m/s)^2 + (5.08 m/s)^2 = 183.56 m^2 / s^2

=> V = √ (183.56 m^2 / s^2) = 13.55 m/s

) Electric charge is uniformly distributed inside a nonconducting sphere of radius 0.30 m. the electric field at a point P, whic
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Point P is situated outside sphere . For a non conducting sphere , electric field outside sphere is given by the relation

E = k Q / d²

15000 = 9 x 10⁹ x Q / .5²

Q = 416.67 X 10⁻⁹

Maximum field will be when d = r ( radius )

maximum E = kQ / r²

= 9 x 10⁹ x 416.67 X 10⁻⁹ / .3²

= 41667 N / C

A researcher studying the nutritional value of a new candy places a 6.60 g 6.60 g sample of the candy inside a bomb calorimeter
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

there are 3.018 kcal= 3018 cal per gram of candy

Explanation:

If the assume that the calorimeter is perfectly insulated, then all the heat released by the combustion is absorbed by the calorimeter.

Also knowing that Q= C * ΔT , where C= heat capacity of the calorimeter , ΔT= temperature change , Q = heat released by the combustion of the candy

replacing values

Q = C * ΔT = 33.90 kJ/°C * 2.46°C = 83.394 kJ

since Q is the heat released when burned all the mass m of the candy, the number of calories per gram of candy will be

q = Q/m =83.394 kJ / 6.60 g = 12.635 kJ/g

q = 12.635 kJ/g * 1 kcal / 4.186 kJ = 3.018 kcal per gram of candy
