If I remember correctly, it is a state an object is in when no force is acting on it or when there is equal amount of force in each direction is being applied to it. Basically, either the object is motionless or is traveling at a constant velocity, there is no acceleration.
Directly proportional to volume, according to charles’s law
Answer:
Newton's First Law of Motion.
Explanation:
Newton's first law of motion states that an object continues to stay in its state of rest, or of uniform motion, until acted upon by an external force.
So in the case of the golf ball here, the ball stays in its state of rest, on the tee, until the golf club hits it, i.e. , applies an external force on it.
Hence we can say that Newton's First Law of Motion is the principle which is most suitable for explaining this phenomenon.
Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
