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)

If an equation is dimensionally correct is thar equation a right equation

Nady [450]

If an equation is dimensionally correct, it does not mean that the equation must be true. On the other hand, when the equation is dimensionally correct, the equation cannot be true. Dimensional analysis is a technique used to check whether a relationship is correct

Three collinear forces,F1=45N west,F2=63N east and an unknown force F3 are applied to an object.The resultant force of the three

Greeley [361]

Take east to be the positive direction. Then the resultant force from adding F₁ and F₂ is

F₁ + F₂ = (-45 N) + 63 N = 18 N

which is positive, so it's directed east.

To this we add a third force F₃ such that the resultant is 12 N pointing west, making it negative, so that

18 N + F₃ = -12 N

F₃ = -30 N

So F₃ has a magnitude of 30 N and points west.

. If you live in a region that has a particular TV station, you can sometimes pick up some of its audio portion on your FM radio

Reil [10]

Answer:

Please see below as the answer is self-explanatory.

Explanation:

The low band of the VHF TV Spectrum, spans channels 2-6, from 54 to 88 Mhz.

In the analog TV, in the Americas, the total bandwidth of any channel is 6 Mhz, with the visual carrier modulated in VSS (Vestigial Side Band) at 1.25 Mhz from the lowest frequency of the channel.

The aural carrier is located at 4.5 Mhz from the visual carrier, and is FM modulated.

For Channel 6, which spans between 82 and 88 Mhz, the visual carrier is at 83.25 Mhz, so the aural carrier is at 87.75 Mhz, which falls within the FM Band, so it is possible to listen the audio part of this channel in a FM radio receiver, even at a lower volume, due to the FM radio has a greater deviation than TV aural carrier.

Explain how thermal energy (temperature) affects chemical changes.

Monica [59]

If bonds are broken, the energy is released, and if bonds are formed, energy is absorbed. During conversions from chemical energy to thermal energy, the energy stored in the chemical bonds are released and this energy causes surrounding molecules to move faster thus increasing the thermal energy of a substance.
