Answer:

The kinetic energy of the system after the collossion is less than the kinetic energy of the system before the collision. This is because the heat generated from the collision which is a direct consequence of the friction between both vehicles and possibly the road too. This heat energy due to friction is not a conservative form of energy and cannot be regained in another form. So after the collision this energy is lost, thereby reducing the total kinetic energy the system had before the collision.

Explanation:

Collisions as these are inelastic collisions. For inelastic collisions, the total momentum is conserved before and after the collision. The kinetic energy on the other hand is not conserved. This is because in most cases some of the energy is lost due friction in the form of heat.

Elastic collisions on the other hand generally have the total momentum and kinetic energy conserved before and after collision.

gladu [14]

Answer:

b. F1=F2=F3=0 because there is no change in the horizontal motion of the arrows.

Explanation:

The three arrows in the given problem have been shot and it is assumed that air resistance can be neglected. The motions of the arrows are in horizontal direction and as such there is no obvious change in the horizontal motion of the three arrows. Therefore, the three forces are equivalent to one another and each force is equal to zero (i.e. F1=F2=F3=0).

Can a small child play with fat child on the seesaw?Explain how?
RoseWind [281]
Yes a small child can play with fat child in the seesaw because if the the load distance is decreased the effort will increase. That's means if the distance between the fat boy and the fulcrum is decreased the small child needs less effort.so,he can play

Cell phone conversations are transmitted by high-frequency radio waves. Suppose the signal has wavelength 36.5 cm while travelin
tia_tia [17]

Answer:

f=8.219*10^{8}Hz

Explanation:

We are going to use the formula  v=fλ

Where v= velocity of radio waves

f= frequency

λ= wavelength of wave

  • radio waves are electromagnetic waves and as such they have the speed of light which is 3*10^{8}m/s.
  • also when a wave travels from one medium to another, the wavelength changes while the frequency remains the same.
  • calculating for the frequency of the wave in air also gives us the frequency in the window glass.

f=\frac{v}{λ}

v=3*10^{8}m/s.

λ=36.5 cm = 36.5/100= 0.365m

f=\frac{3*10^{8}m/s.}{0.365m}

f=8.219*10^{8}Hz
