A wagon is rolling forward on level ground. Friction is negligible. The person sitting in the wagon is holding a rock. The total

mass of the wagon, rider, and rock is 93.1 kg. The mass of the rock is 0.292 kg. Initially the wagon is rolling forward at a speed of 0.456 m/s. Then the person throws the rock with a speed of 15.4 m/s. Both speeds are relative to the ground. Find the speed of the wagon after the rock is thrown (a) directly forward in one case and (b) directly backward in another.

Answer:

a) 0.41 m/s

b) 0.51 m/s

Explanation:

(a)

M = total mass of wagon, rider and the rock = 93.1 kg

V = initial velocity of wagon = 0.456 m/s

m = mass of the rock = 0.292 kg

v = velocity of rock after throw = 15.4 m/s

V' = velocity of wagon after rock is thrown

Using conservation of momentum

M V = m v + (M - m) V'

(93.1) (0.456) = (0.292) (15.4) + (93.1 - 0.292) V'

V' = 0.41 m/s

b)

M = total mass of wagon, rider and the rock = 93.1 kg

V = initial velocity of wagon = 0.456 m/s

m = mass of the rock = 0.292 kg

v = velocity of rock after throw = - 15.4 m/s

V' = velocity of wagon after rock is thrown

Using conservation of momentum

M V = m v + (M - m) V'

(93.1) (0.456) = (0.292) (- 15.4) + (93.1 - 0.292) V'

V' = 0.51 m/s

A brick is dropped from a big scaffold. What is its velocity after 4.0s?
Flura [38]

The velocity of the brick is 39.2 m/s downward

Explanation:

The motion of the brick is a free fall motion, since the object is affected only by the force of gravity. Therefore, it has a uniformly accelerated motion towards the ground, with constant acceleration of g=9.8 m/s^2.

So, we can find its velocity using the suvat equation:

v=u+at

where

v is the final velocity

u is the initial velocity

a is the acceleration

t is the time

For the brick in this problem (taking downward as positive direction)

u = 0 (it is dropped from rest)

a=g=9.8 m/s^2

Therefore, its velocity after t = 4.0 s is:

v=0+(9.8)(4.0)=39.2 m/s

Downward, because the sign is positive.
