Given that the collision is elastic and glider 2 is initially at rest (v2,i =0), please use below Eqs. to explain why
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 )

Put v2,i =0, in second equation

v2,f= (m2-m1)v2,i + 2m1v1,i/m1+m2

v2,f = 0 + 2m1v1,i/m1+m2

v2,f =  2m1v1,i/m1+m2

In this equation coefficient of v1,i is positive so v2,f and v1,i have the same sign.

2 )

Put m1 < m2  and v2,i =0 in first equation

v1,f= (m1-m2)v1,i + 2m2v2,1/m1+m2

v1,f= (m1-m2)v1,i

As m1-m2 is negative , v1f and v1i will have opposite sign.

3 )

Put m1 > m2  and v2,i =0 in first equation

v1,f= (m1-m2)v1,i + 2m2v2,1/m1+m2

v1,f= (m1-m2)v1,i

m1 - m2 is positive so v1f and v1i will have same  sign.

4 )

Put m1 = m2 and v2,i =0 in first equation

v1,f= (m1-m2)v1,i

= 0 because m1 = m2

So glider 1 will stop because v1,f = 0 .

A 12000 kg train engine moving at 2.2 m/s hits and locks into 3 boxcars with a total mass of 25000 kg sitting still. If the coll
PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:

V = 0.714m/s

Explanation:

Full solution calculation can be found in the attachment below.

From the principle of conservation of linear momentum, the sum of momentum before collision equals the sum of momentum after collision.

Before collision only the train had momentum. After the collision the train and the boxcars stick together and move as one body. The initial momentum of the train is now shared with the boxcars as they move together as one body. The both move with a common velocity v.

See the attachment below for the solution calculation.

A 20-kg cart travels at 20 m/s in a circle with a radius of 20 m. What is the centripetal force?
Vlad1618 [11]

Centripetal force = (mass) x (speed)² / (radius)

                           = (20 kg) x (20 m/s)² / (20 m)

                           = (20 x 20 / 20)  (kg-meter/sec²)

                           = 20 newtons

Use the worked example above to help you solve this problem. An Alaskan rescue plane drops a package of emergency rations to str
Vlad [161]

Answer:

(a) The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane

(b) The horizontal component = 39.0 m/s

The vertical component = 171.55 m/s

(c) The angle of impact is 77.19°

Explanation:

The parameters given are;

Velocity of the plane, vₓ = 39.0 m/s

Height of the plane above the ground, h = 1.50 × 10² m = 1,500 m

(a) The time, t, before the package hits the ground when dropped from the plane is given by the relation;

h = u·t + 1/2×g×t²

Where:

g = Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 m/s²

u = Initial vertical velocity = 0 m/s

Hence;

1500 = 0×t + 1/2 × 9.81 × t² = 4.905·t²

∴ t = √(1500/4.905) = 17.49 s

The horizontal distance the package travels before landing = 17.49 × 39 ≈ 682 m

The package lands 682 meters horizontally ahead from the point the package was dropped from the plane

(b) The vertical velocity, v_y, of the package just before landing is given by the relation;

v_y² = u² + 2·g·h

u = 0 m/s

∴ v_y² = 0 + 2×9.81×1500 = 29430 m²/s²

v_y = √29430  = 171.55 m/s

Hence the horizontal component = 39.0 m/s

The vertical component = 171.55 m/s

(c) The angle of impact, θ, is given as follows;

tan \theta = \dfrac{v_y}{v_x}  = \dfrac{171.55}{39.0 } = 4.4

∴ θ = tan⁻¹(4.4) = 77.19°.

A 0.0780 kg lemming runs off a
kotegsom [21]

Answer:

5.01 J

Explanation:

Info given:

mass (m) = 0.0780kg

height (h) = 5.36m

velocity (v) = 4.84 m/s

gravity (g) = 9.81m/s^2

1. First, solve for Kinetic energy (KE)

KE = 1/2mv^2

1/2(0.0780kg)(4.84m/s)^2 = 0.91 J

so KE = 0.91 J

2. Next, solve for Potential energy (PE)

PE = mgh

(0.0780kg)(9.81m/s^2)(5.36m) = 4.10 J

so PE = 4.10 J

3. Mechanical Energy , E = KE + PE

Plug in values for KE and PE

KE + PE = 0.91J + 4.10 J = 5.01 J
