Answer:
3.95 m
Explanation:
m = 1 kg, h = 100 m, k = 125 N/m
Let the spring is compressed by y.
Use the conservation of energy
potential energy of the mass is equal to the energy stored in the spring
m x g x h = 1/2 x ky^2
1 x 9.8 x 100 = 0.5 x 125 x y^2
y^2 = 15.68
y = 3.95 m
<span> Let’s determine the initial momentum of each car.
#1 = 998 * 20 = 19,960
#2 = 1200 * 17 = 20,400
This is this is total momentum in the x direction before the collision. B is the correct answer. Since momentum is conserved in both directions, this will be total momentum is the x direction after the collision. To prove that this is true, let’s determine the magnitude and direction of the total momentum after the collision.
Since the y axis and the x axis are perpendicular to each other, use the following equation to determine the magnitude of their final momentum.
Final = √(x^2 + y^2) = √(20,400^2 + 19,960^2) = √814,561,600
This is approximately 28,541. To determine the x component, we need to determine the angle of the final momentum. Use the following equation.
Tan θ = y/x = 19,960/20,400 = 499/510
θ = tan^-1 (499/510)
The angle is approximately 43.85˚ counter clockwise from the negative x axis. To determine the x component, multiply the final momentum by the cosine of the angle.
x = √814,561,600 * cos (tan^-1 (499/510) = 20,400</span>
What’s the question? Is it true or false?
