I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option A. The kinetic energy after the perfectly inelastic collision would be zero Joules. <span>A </span>perfectly inelastic collision<span> occurs when the maximum amount of kinetic energy of a system is lost. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Answer:

A. 0.0 joules

Explanation:

We can calculate the initial kinetic energy of the car, which is given by:

K=\frac{1}{2}mv^2 = \frac{1}{2}(1,324 kg)(20 m/s)^2=2.65\cdot 10^5 J

where m is the mass of the car and v its initial speed. After the collision, the car stops, so its final speed is zero. Therefore, the new kinetic energy of the car will be

K=\frac{1}{2}(1,324 kg)(0 m/s)^2 = 0 J

This type of collision is called 'perfectly inelastic collision', and it occurs when there is the maximum loss of kinetic energy, as in this case. Therefore, the correct answer is

A. 0.0 joules

In a Rutherford scattering experiment a target nucleus has a diameter of 1.34×10-14 m. The incoming α particle has a mass of 6.6
Rasek [7]

Answer:

E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

Explanation:

given,

diameter = 1.33 x 10⁻¹⁴ m

mass = 6.64 x 10⁻²⁷ kg

wavelength is equal to diameter

de broglie wavelength equal to diameter

         \lambda = \dfrac{h}{mv}

         1.33 \times 10^{-14}= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times v}

         v= \dfrac{6.626 \times 10^{-34}}{6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times 1.33 \times 10^{-14}}

              v = 7.5 x 10⁶ m/s

Kinetic energy is equal to

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2

     E = \dfrac{1}{2}\times 6.64 \times 10^{-27}\times (7.5\times 10^6)^2

            E = 2.5 x 10⁻¹⁴ J

When a current is passed through plasma and that current is increased will the temperature of the plasma increase . if it does t
Delicious77 [7]

The temperature of the plasma will increase as current is passed through it.

<h3>Meaning of Current and temperature</h3>

Current can be defined as a flow of charged particles through a medium and the particles includes: electrons or ions.

Temperature is the degree of hotness or coldness experienced by a material.

The more current passes through the plasma the more energy is induced making the particles to move faster which in turns causes temperature to increase and reducing the resistance of the plasma.

In conclusion, The current causes temperature to increase and this reduces the resistance.
