Is kinetic energy conserved in an inelastic collision.

Physics
1 answer:
tatyana61 [14]2 years ago
5 0
The total kinetic energy before the collision is not equal to the total kinetic energy after the collision. A portion of the kinetic energy is converted to other forms of energy such as sound energy and thermal energy. A collision in which total system kinetic energy is not conserved is known as an inelastic collision.

plates of a parallel-plate capacitor are 2.50 mm apart, and each carries a charge of magnitude 85.0 nC . The plates are in vacuu
tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

12500 V

Explanation:

The electric field in the gap of a parallel-plate capacitor is uniform, so the following relationship between electric field strength, potential difference and distance can be used:

\Delta V = E d

where

\Delta V is the potential difference between the plates

E is the electric field strength

d is the distance between the plates

For the capacitor in this problem, we have

E=5.00\cdot 10^6 V/m

d = 2.50 mm = 2.50\cdot 10^{-3} m

Substituting, we find

\Delta V = (5.00\cdot 10^6)(2.50\cdot 10^{-3})=12500 V

A spring is hung from the ceiling. A 2.0-kg mass suspended hung from the spring extends it by 6.0 cm. A downward external force
Stolb23 [73]

The work done by force on a spring hung from the ceiling will be 1.67 J

Any two things with mass are drawn together by the gravitational pull. We refer to the gravitational force as attractive because it consistently seeks to draw masses together rather than pushing them apart.

Given that a spring is hung from the ceiling with a 2.0-kg mass suspended hung from the spring extends it by 6.0 cm and a downward external force applied to the mass extends the spring an additional 10 cm.

We need to find the work done by the force

Given mass is of 2 kg

So let,

F = 2 kg

x = 0.1 m

Stiffness of spring = k = F/x

k = 20/0.006 = 333 n/m

Now the formula to find the work done by force will be as follow:

Workdone = W = 0.5kx²

W = 0.5 x 333 x 0.1²

W = 1.67 J

Hence the work done by force on a spring hung from the ceiling will be 1.67 J

A ball is thrown from ground level so as to just clear wall 4m height at distance 4m from wall and falls 14 m from wall . Veloci
kolbaska11 [484]
Ok, this is a 2d kinematics problem,  the falls 14 m part is confusing, I think it means in the x direction, but you don't need it anyway.

If we know it goes 4m into the air, we know  d = 4m (height of wall), we also know the acceleration a=-9.8m/s^2 (because gravity) and that the vertical velocity when it just clears the wall will be 0 m/s, which we'll call our final velocity (Vf). Using Vf^2 = Vi^2 +2a*d, we can solve this for Vi and drop Vf because it's zero to get: Vi = sqrt(-2ad), plug in numbers (don't forget a is negative) and you get 8.85 m/s in the vertical direction. The x-direction velocity requires that we solve the y-direction for time, using Vf= Vi + at, we solve for t, getting t= -Vi/a, plug in numbers t= -8.85/-9.8 = 0.9 s. Now we can use the simple v = d/t (because x-direction has no acceleration (a=0)), and plug in the distance to the wall and the time it takes to get there v = (4/.9) = 4.444 m/s, this is the velocity in the x direction, we use Pythagoras' theorem to find the total velocity, Vtotal = sqrt(Vx^2 + Vy^2), so Vtotal = sqrt(8.85^2+4.444^2) = 9.9m/s. Yay physics!
