Two gliders collide on a frictionless air track that is aligned along the x axis. Glider A has an initial velocity of +4.0 m/s a

nd a mass of mA = 0.20 kg. Glider B is initially at rest and has a mass mB. After they collide, A has a velocity of -1.0 m/s and B has a velocity of +2.0 m/s. Determine mB. Assume that It is an elastic collision.

Answer:

As collision is elastic,thus we can use conservation of momentum equation

mA=0.2 kg

(vB)1=0 m/s.......................as it is on rest before collision

(vA)1=4 m/s

(vA)2=-1 m/s

(vB)2=2 m/s

using equation

(mA*vA+mB*vB)1= (mA*vA+mB*vB)2

Where 1 and 2 represents before and after collision

(0.2*4)+(mB*0)=(0.2*-1)+(mB*2)

0.8=-0.2+(2mB)

mass of object B=mB=0.3 Kg

A youngster having a mass of 50.0 kg steps off a 1.00 m high platform. If she keeps her legs fairly rigid and comes to rest in 1
attashe74 [19]

The average act on her during the deceleration is 4.47 meters per second.                                                                

<u>Explanation</u>:

<u>Given</u>:

youngster mass m = 50.0 kg

She steps off a 1.00 m high platform that is s = 1 meter

She comes to rest in the 10-meter second

<u>To Find</u>:

The average force and momentum

<u>Formulas</u>:

p = m * v

F * Δ t = Δ p

vf^2= vi^2+2as

<u>Solution</u>:

a = 9.8 m/s

vi = 0

vf^2= 0+2(9.8)(1)

vf^2 = 19.6

vf = 4.47 m/s .

Therefore the average force is 4.47 m/s.

The position of the front bumper of a test car under microprocessor control is given by x(t) = 2.31 m + (4.90 m/s2)t2 - (0.100 m
vovangra [49]
The equation of the car is given by the equation,

                          x(t) = 2.31 + 4.90t² - 0.10t⁶

If we are going to differentiate the equation in terms of x, we get the value for velocity.

                  dx/dt = 9.8t - 0.6t⁵

Calculate for the value of t when dx/dt = 0.

                 dx/dt = 0 = (9.8 - 0.6t⁴)(t)

The values of t from the equation is approximately equal to 0 and 2. 

If we substitute these values to the equation for displacement,

(0)   , x = 2.31 + 4.90(0²) - 0.1(0⁶) = 2.31

(2)    , x = 2.31 + 4.90(2²) - 0.1(2⁶) = 15.51

Thus, the positions at the instants where velocity is zero are 2.31 and 15.51 meters.
