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.

A running mountain lion can make a leap 10.0 mlong, reaching a maximum height of 3.0 m. What is the speed of the mountain lion j
ValentinkaMS [3465]

To tackle this question we will apply the kinematic equations that describe the motion of a projectile, where both maximum height and distance traveled are defined. This scenario demonstrates a lion achieving a height (H) of 3m and covering a horizontal distance (R) of 10m. The equations governing this kind of motion are expressed as follows:

H = \frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

R = \frac{v_0^2 sin 2\theta}{g}

By dividing the two equations, we determine:

\frac{H}{R}=\frac{\frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}}{\frac{v_0^2 sin 2\theta}{g}}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{sin^2\theta}{2}*\frac{1}{sin2\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{sin^2\theta}{2}*\frac{1}{2sin\theta cos\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{1}{4} \frac{sin\theta}{cos\theta}

\frac{H}{R}= \frac{1}{4} tan\theta

Plugging in the values for H and R yields:

\frac{3}{10} = \frac{1}{4} tan\theta

\theta = tan^{-1} \frac{12}{10}

\theta = 50.2\°

After substituting \theta into the relevant equation, we find:

H = \frac{v_0^2sin^2\theta}{2g}

v_0^2 = \frac{H 2g}{sin^2\theta}

v_0^2 = \frac{3*2*9.8}{sin^2(50.2)}

v_0^2 = 99.62

v_0 = \sqrt{99.62}

v_0 = 9.98m/s

In conclusion, the mountain lion's launch speed upon takeoff is approximately 9.98m/s at an angle of 50.2°.

serg [3582]

Answer:

   C = 4,174 10³ V / m^{3/4},  E = 7.19 10² / ∛x,    E = 1.5  10³ N/C

Explanation:

In this problem, we are tasked with determining the constant value and the generated electric field.

We will begin with computing the constant C:

           V = C x^{4/3}

           C = V / x^{4/3}

            C = 220 / (11 10⁻²)^{4/3}

            C = 4,174 10³ V / m^{3/4}

Next, we will find the electric field by utilizing the formula:

            V = E dx

             E = dx / V

             E = ∫ dx / C x^{4/3}

            E = 1 / C  x^{-1/3} / (- 1/3)

            E = 1 / C (-3 / x^{1/3})

We consider the evaluation from the lower limit x = 0 where E = E₀ = 0 to the upper limit x = x, resulting in E = E:

            E = 3 / C     (0- (-1 / x^{1/3}))

            E = 3 / 4,174 10³   (1 / x^{1/3})

           E = 7.19 10² / ∛x

Substituting x = 0.110 cm:

          E = 7.19 10² /∛0.11

          E = 1.5  10³ N/C

inna [3103]

Response:R=1607556m

θ=180degrees

Clarification:

d1=74.8m

d2=160.7km=160.7km*1000

d2=160700m

d3=80m

d4=198.1m

Utilizing an analytical approach:

Rx=-(160700+75*cos(41.8))= -160755.9m

Ry= -(74.8+75sin(41.8))-198.1=73m

Magnitude, R:

R=√Rx+Ry

R=√160755.9^2+20^2=160755.916

R=160756m

Direction,θ:

θ=arctan(Rx/Ry)

θ=arctan(-73/160755.9)

θ=-7.9256*10^-6

It is worth noting that since θ is in the second quadrant, 180 is added

θ=180-7.9256*10^6=180degrees
