Elastic collision

has a large cross-sectional area, the object will experience more drag for the reason that the air molecules must travel farther off the object (SEED, 2015). Crumple zones are the areas of a vehicle that are designed to absorb impact during a collision in an intended way. The structural areas are typically in the front and rear of a vehicle. The factors to consider for designing a vehicle that can withstand shock is the size and weight of the vehicle, and also the stiffness of the frame and…

In this experiment, I will be testing the expansion and contraction of gases in a balloon by placing three different balloons in separate environments. The three balloons will be placed in a room temperature, cold temperature, and hot temperature environment. The room temperature location will be at about 78° Fahrenheit. This will take place in my closet. The balloon that is going in the cold environment will go in my freezer. The freezer will be set around 32o Fahrenheit. The last location will…

strike various targets. The Twin Towers (also referred to as the World Trade Centre) located in lower Manhattan, New York City were struck with two of the hijacked planes killing nearly three-thousand people and injuring many more. The impact of the collision caused the building to ignite and eventually collapse. Amongst the injuries and casualties caused by the direct impact of the attack, people have suffered because of the aftermath of the event due to environmental, economic and social…

Abstract The purpose of this experiment is to determine the relationship between the temperature and pressure of air at constant volume which placed the Jolly’s bulb in water of different temperature. At the constant volume of the air in the Jolly’s bulb, the temperature and pressure of the air are measured and recorded throughout the experiment. The result shows that the pressure of the air in the Jolly’s bulb increases as the temperature rises, and the pressure decreases as the temperature…

ground, the air inside compresses a little more, momentarily, and the elastic stretchy properties of the basketball skin lets the ball flatten slightly at the bottom. The volleyball is filled with air, that helps it bounce up when the force of its weight from gravity hits the ground. The materials a soccer ball is composed of, has a high degree of elasticity. This means that the stresses induced into a ball by a collision has greater potential to retain its shape rather than failing and…

pressure, room temperature (298K) environments because these environments allow gases to behave ideally, namely to assume that these gas molecules are point masses with no significant volume, experience little interaction with each other, and that all collisions (whether with each other or with the walls of the container)…

magnitude of the convergence in manifestations of both primitiveness and intellectuality in this Transitional Human Beings created modern age. The logical question is what might be the purpose of such stupendous concentration of contrasting and collision prone Mental Forces? Undoubtedly, the Universe as an orderly realm, guides, profiles, and supports the optimization of any…

absorption of the photon is expressed by a linear relaxation process, so the heat released can be determined by solving the rate equation. The heat released can be delayed by some gases mixtures when the excess of energy is somehow taken out by collisions to a long lifetime of other molecules. In cases of very short laser pulses there is a possibility of optical saturation, in that case the heat released is no more a linear function of the intensity of light and the absorption coefficient.…

1. Introduction Safety has always been the principle concern for the human beings. Since the born of the humanity, men have looked for a way to protect themselves from animals and from other men. With the introduction of knives and guns it was necessary to invent a armor that would have fit on the bodies without hindering the movements. The first kind to be used was the metal armor. It turned out to be quite resistant against the weapons of that era. With the improving of the power of the…

One called Little Boy and the other called Fat Man. Little Boy was the first Uranium detonation bomb ever created. It was a collision and fusion of two sub critical masses of Uranium 235 by conventional external explosions into one critical mass. Fat Man was a plutonium implosion nuclear weapon consisting of plutonium 239, Beryllium and Polonium as the core. It was a less fissionable…
