Two masses, each weighing 1.0 × 103 kilograms and moving with the same speed of 12.5 meters/second, are approaching each other. they have a head-on collision and bounce off away from each other. assuming this is a perfectly elastic collision, what will be the approximate kinetic energy of the system after the collision?
a. 1.6 × 105 joules
b. 2.5 × 105 joules
c. 1.2 × 103 joules
d. 2.5 × 103 joules

Awheel rotates without friction about a stationary horizontal axis at the center of the wheel. a constant tangential force equal to 82.0 n is applied to the rim of the wheel. the wheel has radius 0.150 m . starting from rest, the wheel has an angular speed of 12.8 rev/s after 3.88 s. what is the moment of inertia of the wheel?

You and a friend (alex) are at a a tree-top adventure park .. . part of the course requires you to climb up a rope. you both climb the same rope in the same amount of time. however, the tension in the rope is greater when alex climbs. who did the most work? alex did - more tension means more force - more force means more work was done you did - less tension means less force - less force means more work was done to find the work done, the force exerted and distance moved are multiplied. a couch is moved twice before you are happy with its placement. the same force was used to move the couch both times. if more work is done the first time it is moved, what do you know about the distance it was moved? when more work was done, the couch was moved less. when more work was done, the couch was moved further. when more work was done, the couch wasn't moved at all. when more work was done, the couch was moved the same distance.

In the derivation of rrkm theory, a factor of 1/2 is introduced when equalizing the rates of formation and decomposition of activated complex as keal-hr) = ko this is clearly against the assumption of transition state theory that states all the activated complex in the transition state iss going to the product. find the reason why this factor is introduced here.
