A car hits another and the two bumpers lock together during the collision. is this an elastic or inelastic collision?

1 answer:

8 0

Inelastic.
If it was elastic, they'd bump right off each other. But since they've been locked, or stuck together, this is inelastic.

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

The answer is: c. It does not move

Explanation:

Because the gravitational force is characterized by being an internal force within the Earth-particle system, in this case, the object of mass M. And since in this system there is no external force in the system, it can be concluded that the center of mass of the system will not move.

A nonuniform, 80.0-g, meterstick balances when the support is placed at the 51.0-cm mark. At what location on the meterstick sho

Gnoma [55]

Answer:34 cm

Explanation:

Given

mass of meter stick m=80 gm

stick is balanced when support is placed at 51 cm mark

Let us take 5 gm tack is placed at x cm on meter stick so that balancing occurs at x=50 cm mark

balancing torque

$80\times 10^{-3}(51-50)=5\times 10^{-3}(50-x)$

$80=5(50-x)$

$80=250-5x$

$5x=170$

$x=\frac{170}{5}$

$x=34 cm$

A thin, horizontal, 18-cm-diameter copper plate is charged to -3.8 nC. Assume that the electrons are uniformly distributed on th

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Part a)

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Part b)

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Explanation:

Part a)

Electric field due to large sheet is given as

$E = \frac{\sigma}{2\epsilon_0}$

$\sigma = \frac{Q}{A}$

$Q = -3.8 nC$

$A = \pi(0.09)^2$

$A = 0.025 m^2$

$\sigma = \frac{-3.8\times 10^{-9}}{0.025}$

$\sigma = -1.5 \times 10^{-7} C/m^2$

now the electric field is given as

$E = \frac{-1.5 \times 10^{-7}}{2(8.85 \times 10^{-12})}$

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Part b)

Now since the electric field is required at same distance on other side

so the field will remain same on other side of the plate

$E = 8436.7 N/C$

Io, a satellite of Jupiter, is the most volcanically active moon or planet in the solar system. It has volcanoes that send plume

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

1331.84 m/s

Explanation:

t = Time taken

u = Initial velocity

v = Final velocity = 0

s = Displacement = 490 km

a = Acceleration

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 1.81 m/s² = a

From equation of linear motion

$v^2-u^2=2as\\\Rightarrow -u^2=2as-v^2\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{v^2-2as}\\\Rightarrow u=\sqrt{0^2-2\times -1.81\times 490000}\\\Rightarrow u=1331.84\ m/s$

The speed of the material must be 1331.84 m/s in order to reach the height of 490 km
