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)

Water at 20oC flows through a long elliptical duct 30 cm wide and 22 cm high. What average velocity, in m/s, would cause the wei

mars1129 [50]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Fluid is water so, density $\rho = 1000 kg/m^{3}$

Weight flow rate = 500 lbf/s = 2224.11 N/sec

Cross-sectional area (A) = $\pi \times \frac{30}{2} \times \frac{22}{2}$

= 0.05184 $m^{2}$

Hence, weight flow rate will be given as follows.

w = $\rho \times g \times A \times V$

2224.11 N/sec = $\rho \times g \times A \times V$

V = $\frac{2224.11}{1000 \times 9.81 \times 0.05184}$ m/s

= 4.373 m/s

Thus, we can conclude that average velocity in the given case is 4.373 m/s.

If the CD rotates clockwise at 500 rpm (revolutions per minute) while the last song is playing, and then spins down to zero angu

gavmur [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given that,

Initial Angular velocity w=500rpm

Converting from rpm to rad/s

1rev =2πrad

1minutes =60secs

500rpm=500rev/mins

w = 500×2π/60

wi=52.36rad/s

The final angular velocity wf=0rad/s

Time to stop is t=2.6sec

We want to find angular acceleration α

Using the equation of angular motion

wf = wi + αt.

0 = 52.36 + 2.6α

-52.36=2.6α

α = -52.36/2.6

α = -20.14rad/s²

The angular acceleration is negative because it is decelerating.

Then, α=20.14rad/s²

PLEASE HELP

GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

h = 1.8 m

Explanation:

The initial velocity of the glove, u =- 6 m/s

We need to find the maximum height of the glove. Let it is equal to h. Using equation of kinematics. At the maximum height v = 0

$v^2-u^2=2ah$ , h is the maximum height and a = -g

$0^2-(6)^2=2\times (-10)\times h\\\\h=\dfrac{36}{20}\\\\h=1.8\ m$

Hence, it will go up to a height of 1.8 m.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determi

Talja [164]

The solution to the problem is as follows:

Average = 80
So Sum = 80 * 5 = 400
Mode = 88, so two results are 88 (if three results were 88, then the median would be 88).
Three results are 81, 88, and 88.
That leaves 143. We could still have one 81 score, so that leaves the lowest score as 62.

Greg is in a car at the top of a roller-coaster ride. The distance, d, of the car from the ground as the car descends is determined by the equation d = 144 - 16t2, where t is the number of seconds it takes the car to travel down to each point on the ride. How many seconds will it take Greg to reach the ground?
d = 144 - 16t2
0 = 144 - 16t2
16t^2=144
t^2=9
t=3
