An apple with mass 0.4 kg is hanging at rest from the lower end of a light vertical rope. A dart of mass 0.1 kg is shot vertical

ly upward, strikes the bottom of the apple, and remains embedded in it. a) If the speed of the dart is 5m/just before it strikes the apple, what is the speed of the apple just after the collision

Answer:

The speed of the apple just after the collision is 1m/s

Explanation:

Since the two bodies collided, we will apply the law of conservation of momentum to find their common velocity which states that the sum of momentum of the bodies before collision is equal to the sum of momentum of the bodies after collision. After collision both bodies will move with a common velocity v.

Given momentum = mass × velocity

Initial momentum of the 0.4kg apple hanging at rest will be;

Momentum = 0.4kg×0m/s = 0kgm/s (the velocity of apple is 0m/s since it is hanging at rest)

Initial momentum of the 0.1kg dart moving with speed of 5m/s will be;

Momentum of dart = 0.1kg × 5m/s

Momentum of dart = 0.5kgm/s

Momentum of the bodies after collision will give;

Momentum after collision = (0.4kg+0.1kg) × v (v is their common velocity)

Momentum after collision = 0.5v

Using the law of conservation of momentum to calculate their common velocity, we will have;

0+0.5 = 0.5v

0.5 = 0.5v

v = 0.5/0.5

v = 1m/s

Therefore the speed of both bodies after collision is 1m/s which will also serve as the speed of the apple after collision.

Answer:

1 m/s

Explanation:

From the law of conservation of momentum,

Total momentum before collision = Total momentum after collision

Note: Since it is an inelastic collision, the both moves with a common velocity

mu+m'u' = V(m+m')......................... Equation 1

Where m = mass of the apple, m' = mass of the dart, u = initial velocity of the apple, u' = initial velocity of the dart, V = common velocity.

Make V the subject of the equation

V = (mu+m'u')/(m+m')..................... Equation 2

Given: m = 0.4 kg, m' = 0.1 kg, u = 0 m/s (at rest), u' = 5 m/s

Substitute into equation 2

V = (0.4×0+0.1×5)/(0.4+0.1)

V = (0+0.5)/0.5

V = 0.5/0.5

V = 1 m/s.

Hence the speed of the apple after collision = 1 m/s

A child who is swimming toward shore at 0.78 m/s sees shark and picks up his speed
Gnoma [55]

Answer:

0.085m/s²

Explanation:

Use v²=v0²+2a(d)

solve for a

v²-v0²/2d=a

Plug in givens

1.89²-0.78²/2*17.5=a

Plug into calculator

a=0.085m/s²

A car starts from rest, speeds up with constant acceleration, and travels 400 meters in 10 seconds. What was the acceleration of
PIT_PIT [208]

Answer:

Acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2

Explanation:

We have given that car starts from rest so initial velocity of the car u = 0 m/sec

And car traveled 400 m in 10 sec

So distance traveled by car s = 400 m

Time taken to compete this distance t = 10 sec

We have to find the acceleration of the car

From second equation of motion we know that s=ut+\frac{1}{2}at^2

So 400=0\times 10+\frac{1}{2}\times a\times 10^2

a=8m/sec^2

So acceleration of the car will be a=8m/sec^2
