Answer carefully, with reasons: If the potential energy of two billiard balls depends only on the separation distance between their centres, is the collision elastic or inelastic?

Answer carefully, with reasons: In an elastic collision of two billiard balls, is the total kinetic energy conserved during the short time of collision of the balls (i.e. when they are in contact)?

Answer carefully, with reasons: If the potential energy of two billiard' balls depends only on the separation distance between their centres, is the collision elastic or inelastic ? (Note, we are talking here of potential energy corresponding to the force during collision, not gravitational potential energy).

A star like the sun has several bodies moving around it at different distances. Consider that all of them are moving in circular orbits. Let r be the distance of the body frm the centre of the star and let its linear velocity be v, angular velocity omega , kinetic energy K, gravitational potential energy U, total energy E and angular momentum p. As the radius r of the orbit increases, determine which of the above quantities increase and which one decrease.

Which of the following change is observed occurs when a substance X is converted from liquid to vapour phase at the standard boiling point? I. Potential energy of the system decreases II. The distance between molecules increases III.The average kinetic energy of the molecules in both phases are equal

A cricket ball of mass 150 g moving with a speed of 126 km/h hits at the iddle of the bat, held firmly at its position by the batsman. The ball moves straight back to the bowler after hitting the bat. Assurming that collision between ball and bat is completely elastic and the two remain in contact for 0.001 s, the force that the batsman had to apply to hold the bat firmly at its place would be

A beam of ligth consisting of two wavelength 4,800 overset@A and 6,000 overset@A is used to obtain interfernce fringes in a double slit experiment.The distnce between the slits is 1.8 mm and the distance of screen from the plane of slits is 1.2 m What is the lest distance from the centre of the screen,where the brigth fringes due to both the wvelength coincide?

Consider the collision depicted in Figure, to be between two billiard balls with equal masses m_(1)=m_(2) . The first ball is called the cue and the second ball is called the target. The billiard player wants to sink the target ball in a corner pocket, which is at an angle theta_(2)=phi=37^(@). Assume that the collision is elastic and that friction and rotational motion are not important. Obtain theta_(1) .

For a hypothetical hydrogen like atom, the potential energy of the system is given by U(r)=(-Ke^(2))/(r^(3)) , where r is the distance between the two particles. If Bohr's model of quantization of angular momentum is applicable then velocity of particle is given by:
