Applying the Law of Conservation of Momentum

Physics
1 answer:
IgorC [24]3 years ago
6 0

answer

the final velocity is half of train car B's initial velocity

explanation

the conservation of momentum states that the initial and final total momentum are equal

m1v1 + m2v2 for initial momentum

(m1 + m2)v3 for final momentum because both cars stick together so their masses are combined

m1v1 + m2v2 = (m1 + m2)v3

since the mass of both are the same, m1 = m2

m1v1 + m1v2 = (m1 + m1)v3

m1(v1 + v2) = 2m1v3

divide both sides by m1

v1 + v2 = 2v3

since train car A is initially at rest, v1 = 0

v2 = 2v3

v3 = v2 * 1/2

the final velocity is half of train car B's initial velocity

An air hockey game has a puck of mass 30 grams and a diameter of 100 mm. The air film under the puck is 0.1 mm thick. Calculate
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

Explanation:

given data

mass = 30 g = 0.03 kg

diameter = 100 mm = 0.1 m

thick = 0.1 mm = 1 ×10^{-4} m

dynamic viscosity = 1.75 ×10^{-5} Ns/m²

air temperature = 15°C

to find out

time required after impact for a puck to lose 10%

solution

we know velocity varies here 0 to v

we consider here initial velocity = v

so final velocity = 0.9v

so change in velocity is du = v

and clearance dy = h

and shear stress acting on surface is here express as

= µ \frac{du}{dy}

so

= µ  \frac{v}{h}   ............1

put here value

= 1.75×10^{-5} × \frac{v}{10^{-4}}

= 0.175 v

and

area between air and puck is given by

Area = \frac{\pi }{4} d^{2}

area  =  \frac{\pi }{4} 0.1^{2}

area = 7.85 × \frac{v}{10^{-3}} m²

so

force on puck is express as

Force = × area

force = 0.175 v × 7.85 × 10^{-3}

force = 1.374 × 10^{-3} v    

and now apply newton second law

force = mass × acceleration

- force = mass \frac{dv}{dt}

- 1.374 × 10^{-3} v = 0.03 \frac{0.9v - v }{t}

t =  \frac{0.1 v * 0.03}{1.37*10^{-3} v}

time = 2.18

so time required after impact for a puck is 2.18 seconds

The mass of a basketball is three times greater than a softball. Compare the momentum’s of a softball and a basketball if they b
ella [17]
<span>The momentum of the basketball is three times that of the softball. Momentum equals mass times velocity. Therefore, if the basketball and softball are moving at the same velocity, and the basketball has three times the mass of the softball, the basketball has three times the momentum of the softball.</span>
