Answer:

Inelastic collision:

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

Characteristics of an inelastic collision:

the momentum of the system is conserved
the momentum of the system is conservedloss of kinetic energy

In a perfectly elastic collision, the two bodies that collide with each other stick together.

Elastic collision:

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

Characteristics of elastic collision:

the momentum of the system is conserved
no loss of kinetic energy

In everyday life, no collision is perfectly elastic.

ANSWER:

Given examples:

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

Reason:

(They lose kinetic energy and come to a stop after the collision.)

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

Reason:

(a very less amount of kinetic energy is lost)

Which graph shows the relationship between temperature, X, and kinetic energy, Y?

strojnjashka [21]

Answer: see the graph attached (straight line, passing through the origin and positive slope).

Justification:

1) Kinetic energy and temperature are in direct proportion. That means:

i) Being kinetic energy y and temperature x: y α x

ii) That implies: y = kx,where k is the constant of proportionality.

iii) The graph is a line that passes through the origin and has positive slope k (k = y / x).

2) The proportional relationship between kinetic energy (KE) and temperature (T) is shown by the Boltzman law, which states:

Average KE = [3 / 2] KT, where K is Boltzman's constant, whose graph is of the form shown in the figure attached.
