Identify each picture as either an inelastic collision or elastic collision

Physics
1 answer:
Ivan2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

<u>Inelastic collision:</u>

A collision in which there is a loss of Kinetic Energy due to internal friction of the bodies colliding.

<u>Characteristics of an inelastic collision:</u>

  • <em>the momentum of the system is conserved</em>
  • <em>the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy</em><u> </u>

<em>I</em><em>n</em><em> </em><em>a perfectly elastic collision</em><em>, the two bodies </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>collide with each other stick together.</em>

<u>Elastic </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

A collision in which the kinetic energy of the two bodies, before and after the collision, remains the same.

<u>Characteristic</u><u>s</u><u> </u><u>of</u><u> </u><u>elastic</u><u> </u><u>collision</u><u>:</u>

  • <em>the</em><em> </em><em>momentum</em><em> </em><em>of</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>system</em><em> </em><em>is</em><em> </em><em>conserved</em>
  • <em>no</em><em> </em><em>loss</em><em> </em><em>o</em><em>f</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em>

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:

<u>Given examples:</u>

  • Two cars colliding with each other form an example of inelastic collision.

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(</em><em>T</em><em>hey</em><em> </em><em>lose</em><em> </em><em>kinetic</em><em> </em><em>energy</em><em> </em><em>and</em><em> </em><em>come</em><em> </em><em>to</em><em> </em><em>a</em><em> </em><em>stop</em><em> </em><em>after</em><em> </em><em>the</em><em> </em><em>collision</em><em>.</em><em>)</em>

  • A ball bouncing after colliding with a surface is an example of elastic collision

<u>Reason:</u>

<em>(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)</em>

A force vector points due east and has a magnitude of 140 newtons. A second force is added to . The resultant of the two vectors
ale4655 [162]

Answer:

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 280 N East

(b)  When the resultant force is pointing along west line, the magnitude and direction of the second force is 560 N West

Explanation:

Given;

a force vector points due east, F_1 = 140 N

let the second force = F_2

let the resultant of the two vectors = F

(a) When the resultant force is pointing along east line

the second force must be pointing due east

F = F_1 + F_2\\\\F_2 = F - F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N - 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 280 \ N

F_2 = 280 \ East

(b) When the resultant force is pointing along west line

the second force must be pointing due west and it must have a greater magnitude compared to the first force in order to have a resultant in west line.

F = F_2 - F_1\\\\F_2 = F + F_1\\\\F_2 = 420 \ N + 140 \ N\\\\F_2 = 560 \ N

F_2 = 560 \ West

A pulley lifts a 72-N load with a force of 24-N. The input distance is 2m and the output distance is 0.5m. What is the efficienc
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Work done on the lever ( input energy ) = force applied x input distance

= 24 N x 2m = 48 J

Work done by the lever ( output energy ) = load x output distance

= 72 N x 0.5m = 36 J

efficiency = output energy / input energy

= 36 J  / 48 J

= 3 / 4 = .75

In percentage terms efficiency = 75 % .
