The figure below shows a motorcycle leaving the end of a ramp with a speed of 39.0 m/s and following the curved path shown. At t
he peak of the path, a maximum height h above the top of the ramp, the motorcycle's speed is 37.1 m/s. What is the maximum height h? Ignore friction and air resistance. (Enter your answer in m.)

Answer:
Part a)
Part b)
Part c)
Explanation:
Part a)
As we know that there is no external torque on the system of two twins
so here we will use
Part b)
Since angular momentum is conserved here as there is no external torque
so we will have
Part c)
Work done by both of them = change in kinetic energy
so we have
Answer:
6.25 m/s
Explanation:
mass of man (m1) = 80 kg
mass of boy (m2) = 20 kg
mass of man and boy after collision (m12)= 20 + 80 = 100 kg
velocity of man and boy after collision (v) = 2.5 m/s
angle θ = 60 °
How fast was the boy moving just before the collision ?
- From the diagram attached, the first image shows the man and the boys motion while the second diagram shows their motion rearranged to form a triangle. With the momentum of the man and the boy forming the sides of the triangle.
- M₁₂ = total momentum after collision = m12 x v = 100 x 2.5 = 250
- Mboy = momentum of the boy before collision = m2 x Velocity of boy
- Mman = momentum of the man before collision = m1 x velocity of man
- from the triangle, cos θ =
cos 60 =
Mboy = 250 x cos 60 = 125
- recall that momentum of the boy (Mboy) also = m2 x Velocity of boy
therefore
125 = 20 x velocity of boy
velocity of boy = 125 / 20 = 6.25 m/s
