Answer:A perfectly inelastic collision

Explanation:

There are two primary categories of collision:

1. Elastic collision

: In this type, both momentum and kinetic energy of the system remain conserved, such as collisions between atoms or molecules, which are recognized as elastic collisions.

2. Inelastic collision:

In this scenario, while momentum is conserved, kinetic energy is not, as seen when a ball collides with mud.

In a perfectly inelastic collision, the two objects stick together after impact.

In the case of a meteorite striking Mars and becoming embedded within its surface, this collision would be identified as perfectly inelastic as the kinetic energy is entirely lost during the encounter.

Which trailer has more downward pressure where it attaches to the car?
serg [2593]

The trailer that is loaded the most. The total weight does not matter; it is about how the load is distributed. For example, our 12,000 lb snow cat trailer has weight distribution that results in less than 100 lbs of tongue weight. Heavy tongue weight can create issues, as it can shift the weight off the front wheels of the towing vehicle, causing instability.

ValentinkaMS [2425]

Answer:

a. β = 8.23 K

b. β = 28.815 K

Explanation:

The performance of the heat pump can be calculated using the formula

β = TH / (TH - TC)

a.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = - 20 ° C + 273.15 K = 253.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 253.15 K)

β = 8.23 K

b.

TH = 15 ° C + 273.15 K = 288.15 K

TC = 5 ° C + 273.15 K = 278.15 K

β = 288.15 K / (288.15 K - 278.15 K)

β = 28.815 K
