What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic?

2 answers:

A perfect elastic collision is defined as one in which there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision. An inelastic collision is one in which part of the kinetic energy is changed into another form of energy in the collision. Well hope this answers your question :)

Nature of matter makes is elastic or inelastic. Two sponge balls collision would be inelastic. Two still balls collision would be inelastic.

A 2.0-kg object is lifted vertically through 3.00 m by a 150-N force. How much work is done on the object by gravity during this

noname [10]

Answer:

-58.8 J

Explanation:

The work done by a force is given by:

$W=Fdcos \theta$

where

F is the magnitude of the force

d is the displacement of the object

$\theta$ is the angle between the direction of the force and the displacement.

In this problem, we are asked to find the work done by gravity, so we must calculate the magnitude of the force of gravity first, which is equal to the weight of the object:

$F=mg=(2.0 kg)(9.8 m/s^2)=19.6 N$

The displacement of the object is d = 3.00 m, while $\theta=180^{\circ}$ , because the displacement is upward, while the force of gravity is downward; therefore, the work done by gravity is

$W=Fdcos \theta=(19.6 N)(3.00 m)(cos 180^{\circ})=-58.8 J$

And the work done is negative, because it is done against the motion of the object.

Gibbons, small Asian apes, move by brachiation, swinging below a handhold to move forward to the next handhold. A 9.4 kg gibbon

Katarina [22]

Answer:

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Explanation:

given,

mass of gibbon = 9.4 kg

arm length = 0.6 m

speed of the swing

net force must provide

$F_{branch} + F_{gravity}=F_{centripetal}$

force of gravity = - mg

$F_{branch}=F_{centripetal}-F_{gravity}$

= $\dfrac{mv^2}{r} + mg$

= $m(\dfrac{3.4^2}{0.6} +9.8)$

=9 x 29.067

= 261.6 N

upward force acting = 261.6 N

Astronomers have discovered a new planet called "Xandar" beyond the orbit of Pluto (No, not really but I need a fake planet for

Burka [1]

Answer:

m = 1.82E+23 kg

Explanation:

G = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

mG = universal gravitational constant = 6.67E-11 N·m²/kg²

r = radius of orbit = 72,600 km = 7.26E+07 m

C = circumference of orbit = 2πr = 4.56E+08 m

P = period of orbit = 12.9 d = 1,114,560 s

v = orbital velocity of satellite Jim = C/P = 409 m/s

m = mass of Xandar = to be determined

v = √(Gm/r)

v² = [√(Gm/r)]²

v² = Gm/r

rv² = Gm

rv²/G = m

m = rv²/G

m = 1.82E+23 kg

Robin Hood wishes to split an arrow already in the bull's-eye of a target 40 m away.

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

5.843 m

Explanation:

suppose that the arrow leave the bow with a horizontal speed , towards he bull's eye.

lets consider that horizontal motion

distance = speed * time

time = 40/ 37 = 1.081 s

arrow doesnot have a initial vertical velocity component. but it has a vertical motion due to gravity , which may cause a miss of the target.

applying motion equation

(assume g = 10 m/s²)

$s=ut+\frac{1}{2}*gt^{2} \\= 0+\frac{1}{2}*10*1.081^{2}\\= 5.843 m$

Arrow misses the target by 5.843m ig the arrow us split horizontally
