A(n) 1.3 kg mass sliding on a frictionless surface has a velocity of 7.1 m/s east when it undergoes a one-dimensional elastic co
Oxana [17]

Answer: 2.12 kg

Explanation:

Since the 1.3 kg object moves to the west after the collision, the other object will move to the east after the collision.

In an elastic collision, the relative velocity after the collision is the opposite of the relative velocity before the collision. Since the 1.3 kg object’s velocity before the collision is 6.7 m/s greater than the other object, after the collision, its velocity will be 6.7 m/s less than the other object. To determine the other object’s velocity, use the following equation.

v = 1.7 – 7.1 = -5.4 m/s

The negative sign means it is moving eastward. Let’s use this number is a momentum equation to determine its mass.

Initial momentum = 1.3 * 7.1 = 9.23 east

For the 1.3 object, final momentum = 1.3 * 1.7 = 2.21 west

To determine the final momentum of the other object, add these two numbers.

Final momentum = 11.44 east

To determine its mass, use the following equation.

m * 5.4 = 11.44

m = 11.44 ÷ 5.4 = 2.12 kg

To make sure that kinetic energy is conserved, let’s round this number to 2 kg and determine the final kinetic energies.

For the 1.3 object, KE = 1/2 * 1/3* 1.7^2 = 0.48

For the 2 kg object, KE = 1/2* 2 * 5.4^2 = 29.64

Total final KE = 29.64

Initial KE = 0.5* 1.3 * 7.1^2 = 32.77

Since I rounded the mass up to 2kg, this proves that kinetic energy is conserved and the mass is correct!

Two particles oscillate in simple harmonic motion along a common straight-line segment of length 1.0 m. Each particle has a peri
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

a) the particles are <em>0.217 m </em>apart

b) <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.

Explanation:

a) The amplitude of the oscillations is A/2 and the period of each particle is

T = 1.5 s however, they differ by a phase of π/6 rad. Let the phase of the first particle be zero so that the phase of the second particle is π/6. So we can write the coordinates of each of the particles as,

x₁ = A/2 cos(ωt)

x₂ = A/2 cos(ωt + π/6)

we can write the angular frequency ω, as

ω = 2π / T

so,

x₁ = A/2 cos(2π / T)

x₂ = A/2 cos(2π / T + π/6)

Thus, the coordinates of the particles at t = 0.45 s are,

x₁ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5)) = -0.155 A

x₂ = A/2 cos((2π × 0.45) / 1.5) + π/6) = -0.372 A

Their separation at that time is, therefore,

Δx = x₁ - x₂

    = -0.155 A + 0.372 A

    = 0.217 A

since A = 1 m

Thus,

<em>Δx  = 0.217 m</em>

<em></em>

<em></em>

b) In order to find their directions, we must take the derivatives at t = 0.45 s.

Therefore,

v₁ = dx₁ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin(2πt / T)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin(2π(0.45) / 1.5)

   = -1.99

and,

v₂ = dx₂ / dt

   = (-πA / T) sin((2πt / T) + π/6)

   = -(π(1) / 1.5) sin((2π(0.45) / 1.5) + π/6)

   = -1.40

Since both v₁ and v₂ are negative, this shows that <em>the particles are moving in the same direction</em>.
