A steel ball of mass 0.500 kg is fastened to a cord that is 70.0 cm long and fixed at the far end. The ball is then released whe

n the cord is horizontal. At the bottom of its path, the ball strikes a 3.00 kg steel block initially at rest on a frictionless surface. The collision is elastic.
Find
(a) the speed of the ball and
(b) the speed of the block just after the collision.

Answer:

a) v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b) v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Explanation:

a) Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

L = 70 cm = 0.7 m

v₁in = 0 m/s   ⇒  Kin = 0 J

v₁fin = ?

h<em>in </em>= L = 0.7 m

h<em>fin </em>= 0 m   ⇒    U<em>fin</em> = 0 J

The speed of the ball before the collision can be obtained as follows

Einitial = Efinal

⇒ Kin + Uin = Kfin + Ufin

⇒ 0 + m*g*h<em>in</em> = 0.5*m*v₁fin² + 0

⇒ v₁fin = √(2*g*h<em>in</em>) = √(2*(9.81 m/s²)*(0.70 m))

⇒ v₁fin = 3.7059 m/s   (→)

b)  Given

m₁ = 0.5 Kg

m₂ = 3.0 Kg

v₁ = 3.7059 m/s    (→)

v₂ = 0 m/s

v₂fin = ?

The speed of the block just after the collision can be obtained using the equation

v₂fin = 2*m₁*v₁ / (m₁ + m₂)

⇒  v₂fin = (2*0.5 Kg*3.7059 m/s) / (0.5 Kg + 3.0 Kg)

⇒  v₂fin = 1.0588 m/s     (→)

Derive the equation of motion of the block of mass m1 in terms of its displacement x. The friction between the block and the sur
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

the equivalent mass : m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}

the equation of the motion of the block of mass m_1 in terms of its displacement is = (m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)

Explanation:

Let use m₁ to represent the mass of the block and m₂ to represent the mass of the cylinder

The radius of the cylinder  be = R

The distance between the center of the pulley to center of the block to be = x

Also, the angles of inclinations of the cylinder and the block with respect to the ground to be \phi and \beta respectively.

The velocity of the block to be = v

The equivalent mass of the system = m_e

In the terms of the equivalent mass, the kinetic energy of the system can be written as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2} m_ev^2       --------------- equation (1)

The angular velocity of the cylinder = \omega  :  &

The inertia of the cylinder about its center to be = I

The angular velocity of the cylinder can be written as:

v = \omega R

\omega =\frac{v}{R}

The kinetic energy of the system in terms of individual mass can be written as:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I\omega^2

By replacing \omega with \frac{v}{R} ; we have:

K.E = \frac{1}{2}m_1v^2+\frac{1}{2} m_2v^2+\frac{1}{2}I(\frac{v}{R})^2

K.E = \frac{1}{2}(m_1+ m_2+ \frac{I}{R} )v^2   ------------------ equation (2)

Equating both equation (1) and (2); we have:

m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}

Therefore, the equivalent mass : m_e = m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2}    which is read as;

The equivalent mass is equal to the mass of the block plus the mass of the cylinder plus the inertia by  the square of the radius.

The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the block is as follows:

f_{block }=m_1gsin \beta

Also; The expression for the force acting on equivalent mass due to the cylinder is as follows:

f_{cylinder} = m_2gsin \phi

Equating the above both equations; we have the equation of motion of the  equivalent system to be

m_e \bar x = f_{cylinder}-f_{block}

which can be written as follows from the previous derivations

(m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)

Finally; the equation of the motion of the block of mass m_1 in terms of its displacement is = (m_1+m_2+\frac{I}{R^2} )(\bar x) = (m_2gsin \phi) -(m_1gsin \beta)

A skier is accelerating down a 30.0-degree hill at 3.80 m/s^2.
Bond [772]

Answer:

ax = -3.29[m/s²]

ay = -1.9[m/s²]

Explanation:

We must remember that acceleration is a vector and therefore has magnitude and direction.

In this case, it is accelerating downwards, therefore for a greater understanding we will make a diagram of said vector, this diagram is attached.

a_{x}=-3.8*cos(30) = -3.29 [m/s^{2}]\\ a_{y}=-3.8*sin(30) = -1.9 [m/s^{2}]
