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)

How does the momentum of a 75 kilogram stationary football player compare with that of a 70 kilogram player moving at a velocity

pashok25 [27]

Momentum of an object = (its mass) x (its speed) .

Since speed is a factor of momentum, an object that
isn't moving doesn't have any.

-- The moving player has momentum.

-- The stationary one doesn't.

A light ray in glass (n=1.5) hits the air-glass interface at an angle of 10 degrees from the normal. What angle from the normal

jekas [21]

Answer:

The angle from the normal is 15.1°.

Explanation:

We can find the angle by using Snell's law:

$n_{1}sin(\theta_{1}) = n_{2}sin(\theta_{2})$

Where:

n₁: is the first medium (glass) = 1.5

n₂: is the second medium (air) = 1.0

θ₁: is the first angle (in the glass) = 10°

θ₂: is the second angle (in the air) =?

$\theta_{2} = arcsin(\frac{n_{1}sin(\theta_{1})}{n_{2}}) = arcsin(\frac{1.5*sin(10)}{1.0}) = 15.1 ^{\circ}$

Therefore, the angle from the normal is 15.1°.

I hope it helps you!

Acceleration causes a shift of weight to the ______.

marta [7]

Vehicle weight shifts can be backward forward. In this particular case accelerating to fast would cause a shift of weight backwards. Breaking too quickly on the other hand would cause weight to shift forward. You have seen this while in a car or a bus at the traffic light. As the vehicle breaks you are pulled forward as it starts moving you are pulled backwards.

1)Move your eraser on your desk What do you feel while you turn on the eraser?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The warmth you feel is the heat generated by the force of friction created by the rough surfaces of your hands rubbing together. As the abrasives in your eraser are rubbed against paper, friction produces heat, which helps the rubber become sticky enough to hold onto the graphite particles.

A horizontal wire 1 m long carries 0.4 A and is oriented 30° N of W. The Earth's magnetic field runs due north at this location

alexira [117]

Answer:

Explanation:

Force on a current carrying conductor in a magnetic field is given by the following expression

F = B i L where B is magnetic field perpendicular to wire or current , i is current and L is length of the wire.

Magnetic field of 1.5 x 10⁻⁵ T is making an angle of 60 degree with the wire so the component of field perpendicular to it

B = 1.5 X 10⁻⁵ Cos 30° = 1.3 x 10⁻⁵ T.

Force = BiL

= 1.3 X 10⁻⁵ X .4 X 1

= 5.2 X 10⁻⁶ N.

The direction of force can be found out from Fleming's left hand rule . It will be along downward direction.
