I would say 52km because it is going to get hotter and get smaller and go faster.

Two people, one with mass m1 and the other with mass m2, stand on a stationary sled with mass M on a frozen lake. Assume that th

lozanna [386]

Answer:

Part a)

Velocity of sled

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

velocity of first man who jump off

$v_1 = -\frac{(m_2 + M) s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

Part b)

Velocity of sled

$v_f = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s$

Also the speed of second person is given as

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) - \frac{Ms}{m_2 + M}$

Part c)

change in kinetic energy of sled + two people is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

Explanation:

As we know that here we we consider both people + sled as a system then there is no external force on it

So here we can use momentum conservation

since both people + sled is at rest initially so initial total momentum is zero

now when first people will jump with relative velocity "s" then let say the sled + other people will move off with speed v

so by momentum conservation we have

$0 = m_1(v - s) + (m_2 + M)v$

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

so velocity of the sled + other person is

$v = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

velocity of first man who jump off

$v_1 = \frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M} - s$

$v_1 = -\frac{(m_2 + M) s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}$

Part b)

now when other man also jump off with same relative velocity

so let say the sled is now moving with speed vf

so by momentum conservation we have

$(m_2 + M)(\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) = m_2(v_f - s) + Mv_f$

$(m_2 + M)(\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + m_2s = (m_2 + M)v_f$

Now we have

$v_f = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s$

Also the speed of second person is given as

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) + (\frac{m_2}{m_2 + M})s - s$

$v_2 = (\frac{m_1 s}{m_1 + m_2 + M}) - \frac{Ms}{m_2 + M}$

Part c)

change in kinetic energy of sled + two people is given as

$KE = \frac{1}{2}Mv_f^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_1v_1^2 + \frac{1}{2}m_2v_2^2$

here we know all values of speed as we found it in part a) and part b)
