Energy is the ability to do work
The distance traveled per unit time is called speed.
Hope this helps you!
Answer:
In an elastic collision, the total kinetic energy is conserved, while in an inelastic collision, it is not
Explanation:
Let's define the two types of collision:
- Elastic collision: an elastic collision is a collision in which:
1) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is conserved
Typically, elastic collisions occur when there are no frictional forces acting on the objects in the system, so that no kinetic energy is lost into thermal energy. An example of elastic collision is the collision between biliard balls.
- Inelastic collision: an inelastic collision is a collision in which:
1 ) the total momentum of the system is conserved
2) the total kinetic energy of the system is NOT conserved
In an elastic collision, part of the total kinetic energy is lost (=converted into thermal energy) due to the presence of frictional forces. An example of inelastic collision is the accident between two cars, in which part of the energy is converted into heat.
Answer:
1/4 of the original
Explanation:
That would be TWO half lives:
1/2 * 1/2 = 1/4 <======= 1/4 would be left
Answer: 0.4 Amps
Explanation:
Voltage of battery = 24 Volts
Current I = ?
Resistance of searchlight (R)= 60ohms (Ω is the symbol for ohms)
Then, apply the formula for ohms law
Voltage = Current x resistance
i.e V = I x R
24V = I x 60Ω
I = 24V / 60Ω
I = 0.4 Amps (Amps is the unit of current)
Thus, the current in the circuit is 0.4 Amps
