Answer:
Explanation:
Total momentum of the system before the collision
.5 x 3 - 1.5 x 1.5 = -0.75 kg m/s towards the left
If v be the velocity of the stuck pucks
momentum after the collision = 2 v
Applying conservation of momentum
2 v = - .75
v = - .375 m /s
Let after the collision v be the velocity of .5 kg puck
total momentum after the collision
.5 v + 1.5 x .231 = .5v +.3465
Applying conservation of momentum law
.5 v +.3465 = - .75
v = - 2.193 m/s
2 ) To verify whether the collision is elastic or not , we verify whether the kinetic energy is conserved or not.
Kinetic energy before the collision
= 2.25 + 1.6875
=3.9375 J
kinetic energy after the collision
= .04 + 1.2 =1.24 J
So kinetic energy is not conserved . Hence collision is not elastic.
3 ) Change in the momentum of .5 kg
1.5 - (-1.0965 )
= 2.5965
Average force applied = change in momentum / time
= 2.5965 / 25 x 10⁻³
= 103.86 N
Answer:
Friction between the box and the floor is 25N to the left.
Explanation:
According to Newton's second law of motion, the net force acting on an object is equal to the produce between the object's mass and its acceleration:
where
m is the mass of the object
a is its acceleration
In this problem, we have two forces acting on the object:
- The applied force, F = 25 N, to the right
- The force of friction 
, opposing the motion of the box, so to the left
So we can write the net force as
Also, we know that the box is moving at constant speed: this means its acceleration is zero, so
Therefore
WHich means:
And therefore,
which means that the force of friction is also 25 N.
Answer: A) mass on earth surface = 5.91kg
B) mass on surface of jupiter = 5.91kg
C) weight on surface of jupiter = 10.697N
Explanation:
The relationship between weight (W), mass (m) and acceleration due gravity (g) is given below
W=mg
From the question, g= 9.8m/s² and weight on the surface on the earth is 58N
A) The mass of watermelon on earth is
m = 58/ 9.8 = 5.91kg
B) the mass of the watermelon on jupiter is 5.91kg.
You will notice this is the same as the mass of watermelon on earth and that is so because mass is a scalar quantity that does not depends on the distance away from the center of the earth (unlike weight which is a vector) thus making it constant all through any location.
C) mass of watermelon is 5.91kg, g=9.8m/s² weight of watermelon on jupiter is given below as
W = mg
W = 5.91 x 9.8
= 10.697N.
Answer:
(c) position
Explanation:
From the work-energy theorem, the workdone by a force on a body causes a change in kinetic energy of the body.
But, remember that the work done (W) by a force (F) on a body is the product of the force and the distance d, moved by the body caused by the force. i.e
W = F x d
This distance is a measure of the position of the body at a given instance.
Therefore, the work done is given by the force as a function of distance (or position).
