Answer:
a) v = 11.24 m / s , θ = 17.76º b) Kf / K₀ = 0.4380
Explanation:
a) This is an exercise in collisions, therefore the conservation of the moment must be used
Let's define the system as formed by the two cars, therefore the forces during the crash are internal and the moment is conserved
Recall that moment is a vector quantity so it must be kept on each axis
X axis
initial moment. Before the crash
p₀ₓ = m₁ v₁
where v₁ = -25.00 me / s
the negative sign is because it is moving west and m₁ = 900 kg
final moment. After the crash
= (m₁ + m₂) vx
p₀ₓ = p_{x f}
m₁ v₁ = (m₁ + m₂) vₓ
vₓ = m1 / (m₁ + m₂) v₁
let's calculate
vₓ = - 900 / (900 + 1200) 25
vₓ = - 10.7 m / s
Axis y
initial moment
= m₂ v₂
where v₂ = - 6.00 m / s
the sign indicates that it is moving to the South
final moment
p_{fy}= (m₁ + m₂)
p_{oy} = p_{fy}
m₂ v₂ = (m₁ + m₂) v_{y}
v_{y} = m₂ / (m₁ + m₂) v₂
we calculate
= 1200 / (900+ 1200) 6
= - 3,428 m / s
for the velocity module we use the Pythagorean theorem
v = √ (vₓ² + v_{y}²)
v = RA (10.7²2 + 3,428²2)
v = 11.24 m / s
now let's use trigonometry to encode the angle measured in the west clockwise (negative of the x axis)
tan θ = / Vₓ
θ = tan-1 v_{y} / vₓ)
θ = tan -1 (3,428 / 10.7)
θ = 17.76º
This angle is from the west to the south, that is, in the third quadrant.
b) To search for loss of the kinetic flow, calculate the kinetic enegy and then look for its relationship
Kf = 1/2 (m1 + m2) v2
K₀ = ½ m₁ v₁² + ½ m₂ v₂²
Kf = ½ (900 + 1200) 11.24 2
Kf = 1.3265 105 J
K₀ = ½ 900 25² + ½ 1200 6²
K₀ = 2,8125 10⁵ + 2,16 10₅4
K₀ = 3.0285 105J
the wasted energy is
Kf / K₀ = 1.3265 105 / 3.0285 105
Kf / K₀ = 0.4380
this is the fraction of kinetic energy that is conserved, transforming heat and transforming potential energy
