Is kinetic energy conserved in an elastic collision.

1 answer:

5 0

An elastic collision is a collision in which there is no net loss in kinetic energy in the system as a result of the collision. Both momentum and kinetic energy are conserved quantities in elastic collisions. ... They collide, bouncing off each other with no loss in speed.

Answer:

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Explanation:

Given that

x= 150 ft

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}= 7\ ft/s$

y= 14 ft

From the diagram

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

When ,x= 150 ft and y= 14 ft

$z^2=150^2+14^2$

$z=\sqrt{150^2+15^2}$

z=150.74 ft

$z^2=x^2+y^2$

By differentiating with respect to time t

$2z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= 2x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+2y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= x\dfrac{dx}{dt}+y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Here x is constant that is why

$\dfrac{dx}{dt}=0$

$z\dfrac{dz}{dt}= y\dfrac{dy}{dt}$

Now by putting the values in the above equation we get

$150.74\times \dfrac{dz}{dt}=14\times 7$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=\dfrac{14\times 7}{150.74}\ ft/s$

$\dfrac{dz}{dt}=0.65\ ft/s$

Therefore the distance between balloon and observer increasing with 0.65 ft/s.
