Object A is moving due east, while object B is moving due north. They collide and stick together in a completely inelastic colli

sion. Momentum is conserved. Object A has a mass of mA = 18.5 kg and an initial velocity of v0A = 8.15 m/s, due east. Object B, however, has a mass of mB = 30.5 kg and an initial velocity of v0B = 5.00 m/s, due north. Find the magnitude of the final velocity of the two-object system after the collision.

Answer:

v =4.36 m/s

Explanation:

given,

mass of object A = 18.5 Kg

initial velocity of object A = 8.15 m/s in east

mass of object B = 30.5 kg

initial velocity of object B = 5 m/s

P = P_A+P_B

P = m_Av_A\widehat{i} + m_B v_B\widehat{j}

P = 18.5\times 8.15 \widehat{i} + 30.5\times 5\widehat{j}

P = 150.775 \widehat{i} + 152.5 \widehat{j}

P = \sqrt{150.775^2+152.5^2}

P = 214. 45 N s

velocity after collision is equal to

v =\dfrac{214.45}{18.5+30.5}

v =4.36 m/s

hence, velocity after collision is equal to 4.36 m/s

Answer:

The magnitude of the final velocity of the two-object system is v=4.37\frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

As the Momentum is conserved, <u>we can compare the instant before the collision, and the instant after</u>. Also, we have to take in account the two components of the problem (x-direction and y-direction).

To do that, we put our <em>0 of coordinates where the collision takes place</em>.

So, for the initial momentum we have that

p_{ix}=m_{a}v_{0a}+0

p_{iy}=0+m_{b}v_{0b}

Now, this is <em>equal to the final momentum</em> (in each coordinate)

p_{fx}=(m_{a}+m_{b}) v_{fx}

p_{fy}=(m_{a}+m_{b}) v_{fy}

So, <u>we equalize each coordinate and get each final velocity</u>

m_{a}v_{0a}=(m_{a}+m_{b}) v_{fx} \Leftrightarrow v_{fx}=\frac{m_{a}v_{0a}}{(m_{a}+m_{b})}

m_{b}v_{0b}=(m_{a}+m_{b}) v_{fy} \Leftrightarrow v_{fy}=\frac{m_{b}v_{0b}}{(m_{a}+m_{b})}

Finally, <em>to calculate the magnitude of the final velocity</em>, we need to calculate

v_{f}=\sqrt{(v_{fx})^{2}+(v_{fy})^{2}}

which, replacing with the previous results, is

v_{f}=\sqrt{(v_{fx})^{2}+(v_{fy})^{2}}=(\sqrt{(\frac{18.5*8.15}{49})^{2}+(\frac{30.5*5.00}{49})^{2}})\frac{m}{s}

Therefore, the outcome is

v_{f}=4.37\frac{m}{s}

What are the units of measure for distance?
olga2289 [7]
The most common unit is meters (m for short). It is the base unit for distance or displacement in the metric system. If you are dealing with larger distances, you might use kilometers (I'm for short) which is just 1000 meters. On the other hand, centimeter (cm) are used for small distances and are 1/100 of a meter. Another common unit is millimeters (mm) which is 1/1000 of a meter.

You are designing a delivery ramp for crates containing exercise equipment. The 1890 N crates will move at 1.8 m/s at the top of
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

K = 588.3 N/m

Explanation:

From a forces diagram, and knowing that for the maximum value of K, the crate will try to rebound back up (Friction force will point downward):

Fe - Ff - W*sin(22) = 0    Replacing Fe = K*X   and then solving for X:

X = \frac{Ff + W*sin(22)}{K}=\frac{1223}{K}

By conservation of energy:

\frac{K*X^{2}}{2}-mg*d*sin(22)-\frac{m*V^{2}}{2}=-Ff*d

Replacing our previous value for X and solving the equation for K, we get maximum value to prevent the crate from rebound:

K = 588.3 N/m
