Having aced your Physics 2111 class, you get a sweet summer-job working in the International Space Station. Your room-mate, Cosm

onaut Valdimir tosses a banana at you at a speed of 16 m/s. At exactly the same instant, you fling a scoop of ice cream at Valdimir along exactly the same path. The collision between banana and ice cream produces a banana split 8.2 m from your location 1.4 s after the banana and ice cream were launched.
1. How fast did you toss the ice cream?

2. How far were you from Valdimir when you tossed the ice cream?

Answer:

a

The speed is   s =  5.857 m/s

b

The distance is  D = 22.4  \  m

Explanation:

From the question we are told that

     The speed of the banana is  v =  16 \ m/s

   The distance from my  location is  d =  8.2  \ m  

     The time taken is  t = 1.4 \ s

The speed of the ice cream is

          s =  \frac{d}{t}

substituting values

        s =  \frac{8.4}{1.4}

        s =  5.857 m/s

The distance of separation between i and Valdimir is the same as the distance covered by the banana

   So  

          D =  v * t

substituting values

        D = 16 *  1.4

        D = 22.4  \  m

Calculate the translational speed of a cylinder when it reaches the foot of an incline 7.05 mm high. Assume it starts from rest
mestny [16]

Height is 7.05 m and not 7.05 mm

Answer:

9.603 m/s

Explanation:

We are dealing with rotation, so velocity of centre of mass is given by;

v_cm = Rω

Since we are working with a solid cylinder, moment of inertia of the cylinder is; I = ½mR²

Since it is rolled from the top to the bottom, at the top it will have potential energy(mgh) while at the bottom it will have kinetic energy (rotational plus translational kinetic energy).

Using conservation of energy, we have:

P.E = K.E_t + K.E_r

Formula for rotational and kinetic energy here are;

K.E_t = ½mv²

K.E_r = ½Iω²

mgh = ½mv² + ½Iω²

Since we want to find translational speed(v), let's get rid of ω.

Earlier, we saw that v_cm = Rω

Thus; ω = v/R

Also, we know that I = ½mR².

Thus;

mgh = ½mv² + ½(½mR²)(v/R)²

This gives;

mgh = ½mv² + ¼mv²

Divide through by m to get;

gh = v²(½ + ¼)

gh = ¾v²

Making v the subject gives;

v = √(4gh/3)

v = √((4 × 9.81 × 7.05)/3)

v = 9.603 m/s
