Question 10 (3 points)
What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic?

Question 10 options:

If the collision involves bouncing, it is elastic.

If the collision involves sticking together, it is elastic.

If there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision, it is elastic.

If there is energy lost in the collision to sound, heat, etc., the collision is elastic.

1 answer

Here are the answers to your questions:

Question 1: To calculate the force, we use Newton's second law: \( F = m \cdot a \).

  • Mass \( m = 0.42 , \text{kg} \)
  • Acceleration \( a = 14.8 , \text{m/s}^2 \) So, \[ F = 0.42 , \text{kg} \times 14.8 , \text{m/s}^2 = 6.22 , \text{N} \] Answer: 6.22 N

Question 2: According to Newton's second law, when an object is acted on by an unbalanced force, it will: Answer: It will accelerate.


Question 3: When an object moves, stops moving, changes speed, or changes direction, scientists describe that condition as: Answer: unbalanced forces.


Question 4: A tightrope walker who does not want to change his position will want the forces acting on him to be: Answer: balanced.


Question 5: The force that every mass exerts on every other mass is called: Answer: gravity.


Question 6: Which of the following best illustrates the role that gravity played in the formation of the solar system? Answer: Gravity pulled particles of dust and gas together to form planets.


Question 7: Which statement is true because of Newton's second law? Answer: When the net force on an object decreases, the object's acceleration decreases.


Question 8: When a bat hits a ball, the impulse is: Answer: the mass multiplied by the change in velocity.


Question 9: A baseball is traveling (+20 m/s) and is hit by a bat and leaves the bat traveling (-30 m/s). The change in velocity is calculated as follows: Change in velocity = final velocity - initial velocity = (-30 m/s) - (+20 m/s) = -30 m/s - 20 m/s = -50 m/s The change in velocity is 50 m/s (the negative sign indicates a change in direction). Answer: 50 m/s


Question 10: What makes some collisions elastic and others inelastic? Answer: If there is no loss of kinetic energy in the collision, it is elastic.
