In an elastic head-on collision, a 0.60 kg cart moving at 5.0 m/s [W] collides with a 0.80 kg cart moving at 2.0 m/s [E]. The co

labwork [276]

Answer:

The answer is given below

Explanation:

u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity. Given that:

$m_1=0.6kg,u_1=-5m/s(moving \ west),m_2=0.8kg,u_2=2m/s,k=1200N/m$

The final velocity of cart 1 after collision is given as:

$v_1=(\frac{m_1-m_2}{m_1+m_2})u_1+\frac{2m_2}{m_1+m_2}u_2\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.6-0.8}{0.6+0.8} (-5)+\frac{2*0.8}{0.6+0.8}(2)= 5/7+16/7=3\ m/s$

The final velocity of cart 2 after collision is given as:

$v_2=(\frac{m_2-m_1}{m_1+m_2})u_2+\frac{2m_1}{m_1+m_2}u_1\\ Substituting:\\v_1=\frac{0.8-0.6}{0.6+0.8} (2)+\frac{2*0.6}{0.6+0.8}(-5)= 2/7-30/7=-4\ m/s$

b) Using the law of conservation of energy:

$\frac{1}{2}m_1u_1+ \frac{1}{2}m_2u_2=\frac{1}{2}m_1v_1+\frac{1}{2}m_2v_2+\frac{1}{2}kx^2\\x=\sqrt{\frac{m_1u_1+m_2u_2-m_1v_1-m_2v_2}{k}}\\ Substituting\ gives:\\x=\sqrt{\frac{0.6*(-5)^2+0.8*2^2-(0.6*3^2)-(0.8*(-4)^2)}{1200}}=\sqrt{0}=0\ cm$

Differentiate between center of mass and center of gravity

ELEN [110]

Answer:

Centre of mass is the point at which the distribution of mass is equal in all directions, and does not depend on gravitational field. Centre of gravity is the point at which the distribution of weight is equal in all directions, and does depend on gravitational field.

A thin, rectangular sheet of metal has mass M and sides of length a and b. Find the moment of inertia of this sheet about an axi

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

The moment of inertia is $I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Explanation:

The moment of inertia is equal:

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dm$

If r is $-\frac{a}{2}$

and $dm=\frac{M}{a} dr$

$I=\int\limits^a_b {r^{2}\frac{M}{a} } \, dr\\a=\frac{a}{2} \\b=-\frac{a}{2}$

$I=\frac{M}{a} \int\limits^a_b {r^{2} } \, dr\\\\I=\frac{M}{a} (\frac{M}{3} )_{b}^{a}\\ I=\frac{M}{3a} (\frac{a^{3} }{8} +\frac{a^{3} }{8} )\\I=\frac{M}{12} a^{2}$

Suppose a clay model of a koala bear has a mass of 0.200 kg and slides on ice at a speed of 0.750 m/s. It runs into another clay

kaheart [24]

Answer:

0.278 m/s

Explanation:

We can answer the problem by using the law of conservation of momentum. In fact, the total momentum before the collision must be equal to the total momentum after the collision.

So we can write:

$mu=(m+M)v$
