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.

In Part 6.2.2, you will determine the wavelength of the laser by shining the laser beam on a "diffraction grating", a set of reg
harkovskaia [24]

Answer:

λ = 2042 nm

Explanation:

given data

screen distance d = 11 m

spot s = 4.5 cm = 4.5 ×10^{-2} m

separation L = 0.5 mm = 0.5 ×10^{-3} m

to find out

what is λ

solution

we will find first angle between first max and central bright

that is tan θ = s/d

tan θ = 4.5 ×10^{-2}  / 11

θ = 0.234

and we know diffraction grating for max

L sinθ  = mλ

here we know m = 1  so put all value and find λ

L sinθ  = mλ

0.5 ×10^{-3}  sin(0.234)  = 1 λ

λ = 2042.02 ×10^{-9}  m

λ = 2042 nm

In a supermarket, you place a 22.3-N (around 5 lb) bag of oranges on a scale, and the scale starts to oscillate at 2.7 Hz. What
allsm [11]

Answer:

Force constant, k = 653.3 N/m

Explanation:

It is given that,

Weight of the bag of oranges on a scale, W = 22.3 N

Let m is the mass of the bag of oranges,

m=\dfrac{W}{g}

m=\dfrac{22.3}{9.8}

m = 2.27 kg

Frequency of the oscillation of the scale, f = 2.7 Hz

We need to find the force constant (spring constant) of the spring of the scale. We know that the formula of the frequency of oscillation of the spring is given by :

f=\dfrac{1}{2\pi}\sqrt{\dfrac{k}{m}}

k=4\pi^2 f^2m

k=4\pi^2 \times (2.7)^2\times 2.27

k = 653.3 N/m

So, the force constant of the spring of the scale is 653.3 N/m. Hence, this is the required solution.

7) A heavy dart and a light dart are launched horizontally on a frictionless table by identical ideal springs. Both springs were
Elenna [48]

Answer:

A, B, and E

Explanation:

The springs are identical, and are compressed the same amount, so they have the same initial elastic potential energy. (E is true)

Energy is conserved, so the darts have the same amount of kinetic energy. (A is true, C is false)

The lighter dart has the same energy as the heavier dart.  Since it has less mass, it must have a greater speed. (B is true, D is false)

Cesium-137 undergoes beta decay and has a half-life of 30.0 years. How many beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of ces
Mandarinka [93]

Answer: 0.81\times 10^{16} beta particles

Explanation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}

Given mass = 14.0 g

Molar mass = 137 g/mol

\text{Number of moles of cesium}=\frac{14.0g}{137g/mol}=0.102moles

According to avogadro's law, 1 mole of every substance weighs equal to its molecular mass and contains avogadro's number 6.023\times 10^{23} of particles.

1 mole of cesium contains atoms =  6.023\times 10^{23}

0.102 moles of cesium contains atoms =  \frac{6.023\times 10^{23}}{1}\times 0.102=0.614\times 10^{23}

The relation of atoms with time for radioactivbe decay is:

N_t=N_0\times \frac{1}{2}^{\frac{t}{t_{\frac{1}{2}}}}

Where N_t =atoms left undecayed

N_0 = initial atoms

t = time taken for decay = 3 minutes

{t_{\frac{1}{2}}} = half life = 30.0 years = 1.577\times 10^7 minutes

The fraction that decays  :  1-(\frac{1}{2})^{\frac{3}{1.577\times 10^7}}=1.32\times 10^{-7}

Amount of particles that decay is  = 0.614\times 10^{23}\times 1.32\times 10^{-7}=0.81\times 10^{16}

Thus 0.81\times 10^{16} beta particles are emitted by a 14.0-g sample of cesium-137 in three minutes.
