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

It is dangerous to stand near the railway leak when train passing by,why?​
Harman [31]

It is dangerous to stand close to railroad tracks when a rapidly moving commuter train passes. Explain why atmospheric pressure would push you toward the moving train. Water pressure inside a hose nozzle can be less than atmospheric pressure due to the Bernoulli effect.

15. If an 800.-kg sports car slows to 13.0 m/s to check out an accident scene and the
goldfiish [28.3K]

The final combined velocity after the collision is 20.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, in absence of external forces, the total momentum of the two car and of the truck must be conserved before and after the collision.

This means that we can write the following equation:

p_i = p_f\\m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2 = (m_1+m_2)v  

where:  

m_1 = 800 kg is the mass of the sport car

u_1 = 13.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the car (taking its direction as positive  direction)

m_2 = 1200 kg is the mass of the truck

u_2 = 25.0 m/s is the initial velocity of the truck

v is the final combined velocity of the car and the truck, after the collision

Re-arranging the equation and substituting the values, we find the velocity after the collision:

v=\frac{m_1 u_1 + m_2 u_2}{m_1+m_2}=\frac{(800)(13)+(1200)(25)}{800+1200}=20.2 m/s

And the positive sign indicates their final direction is the same as the initial direction of the two vehicles.
