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}

Two pebbles, Pebble A and Pebble B, are thrown horizontally with the same force. Pebble A's mass is 3 times the
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

Pebble A has 1/3 the acceleration as pebble B.

Explanation:

F = m×a

mass of a = 3 × mass of b (m_a = 3 × m_b)

Same starting force, F

m_a = mass of a

m_b = mass of b

a_a = acceleration of a

a_b = acceleration of b

F = m_a × a_a = m_b × a_b

3 × m_b × a_a = m_b × a_b

3 × a_a = a_b

OR

a_a = a_b / 3

A 10.0kg water balloon is dropped from a height of 12.0m. Calculate the speed of the balloon just before it hits the ground
kolbaska11 [484]

Answer:

15.5 m/s.

Explanation:

Potential energy of the balloon has been converted to kinetic energy.

potential energy = kinetic energy.

mgh = ½mv².

10* 10* 12= ½ *10 *v²

1200 = 5v²

v²=1200÷5

v=√240

v= 15.49~15.5 m/s.

After being struck by a bowling ball, a 1.8 kg bowling pin sliding to the right at 5.0 m/s collides head-on with another 1.8 kg
kaheart [24]

Answer:

a) v₂ = 4.2 m/s

b) v₂ = 5 m/s

Explanation:

a)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0.8 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0.8\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)\\v_2 = 5\ m/s - 0.8\ m/s

<u>v₂ = 4.2 m/s</u>

<u></u>

b)

We will use the law of conservation of momentum here:

m_1u_1+m_2u_2=m_1v_1+m_2v_2

where,

m₁ = m₂ = mass of bowling pin = 1.8 kg

u₁ = speed of first pin before collsion = 5 m/s

u₂ = speed of second pin before collsion = 0 m/s

v₁ = speed of first pin after collsion = 0 m/s

v₂ = speed of second after before collsion = ?

Therefore,

(1.8\ kg)(5\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)=(1.8\ kg)(0\ m/s)+(1.8\ kg)(v_2)

<u>v₂ = 5 m/s</u>
