(I) A novice skier, starting from rest, slides down an icy frictionless 8.0° incline whose vertical height is 105 m. How fast is

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

v = 45.37 m/s

Explanation:

Given,

angle of inclination = 8.0°

Vertical height, H = 105 m

Initial K.E. = 0 J

Initial P.E. = m g H

Final PE = 0 J

Final KE = $\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2$

Using Conservation of energy

$KE_i + PE_i + KE_f + PE_f$

$0 + m g H = \dfrac{1}{2}mv^2 + 0$

$v = \sqrt{2gH}$

$v = \sqrt{2\times 9.8 \times 105}$

v = 45.37 m/s

Hence, speed of the skier at the bottom is equal to v = 45.37 m/s

Two cars, both of mass m, collide and stick together. Prior to the collision, one car had been traveling north at a speed 2v, wh

mel-nik [20]

Answer: $u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }$

Explanation:

Given

Both cars mass is m

and solving problem in Vertical and horizontal direction

considering + y and +x to be positive and u be the final velocity of system

Conserving Momentum in Vertical direction

$m(2v)+m(-vsin\phi )=2m(ucos\theta )$

$2ucos\theta =v(2-sin\theta )$ ------1

Conserving momentum in x direction

$mvcos\phi =2musin\theta$ -----2

squaring and adding 1 &2

$(2u)^2=(2v-vsin\phi )^2+(vcos\phi )^2$

$4u^2=4v^2+v^2-4v^2sin\phi$

$4u^2=5v^2-4v^2sin\phi$

$u=\frac{v}{2}\sqrt{5-4sin\phi }$

In a closed system, as kinetic energy increases, what happens to potential energy?

kupik [55]

<h2>Because kinetic energy is proportional to the velocity squared, increases in velocity will have an exponentially greater effect on translational kinetic energy. Doubling the mass of an object will only double its kinetic energy, but doubling the velocity of the object will quadruple its velocity.</h2>

A solid cylinder has a mass of 5 kg and radius of 2 m and is fixed so that it is able to rotate freely around its center without

kari74 [83]

Answer:

0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of angular momentum,

angular momentum before impact = angular momentum after impact

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = angular momentum of bullet = + 9 kgm²/s (it is positive since the bullet tends to rotate in a clockwise direction from left to right)

L₂ = angular momentum of cylinder and angular momentum of bullet after collision.

L₂ = (I₁ + I₂)ω where I₁ = rotational inertia of cylinder = 1/2MR² where M = mass of cylinder = 5 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2 m, I₂ = rotational inertia of bullet about axis of cylinder after collision = mR² where m = mass of bullet = 0.02 kg and R = radius of cylinder = 2m and ω = angular velocity of system after collision

So,

L₁ = L₂

L₁ = (I₁ + I₂)ω

ω = L₁/(I₁ + I₂)

ω = L₁/(1/2MR² + mR²)

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

substituting the values of the variables into the equation, we have

ω = L₁/(1/2M + m)R²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(1/2 × 5 kg + 0.02 kg)(2 m)²

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.5 kg + 0.02 kg)(4 m²)

ω = + 9 kgm²/s/(2.52 kg)(4 m²)

ω = +9 kgm²/s/10.08 kgm²

ω = + 0.893 rad/s

The angular velocity of the cylinder bullet system is 0.893 rad/s in the clockwise direction-since it is positive.
