Answer:
The new height the ball will reach = (1/4) of the initial height it reached.
Explanation:
The energy stored in any spring material is given as (1/2)kx²
This energy is converted to potential energy, mgH, of the ball at its maximum height.
If the initial height reached is H
And the initial compression of the spring = x
So, mgH = (1/2)kx²
H = kx²/2mg
The new compression, x₁ = x/2
New energy of loaded spring = (1/2)kx₁²
And the new potential energy = mgH₁
mgH₁ = (1/2)kx₁²
But x₁ = x/2
mgH₁ = (1/2)k(x/2)² = kx²/8
H₁ = kx²/8mg = H/4 (provided all the other parameters stay constant)
The initial speed of car A is 15.18 m/s.
Momentum is defined as mass in motion. If there are two objects (the two objects in motion or only one object in motion and the other in stationary) that collide and no other forces work in the system, the law of momentum conservation applies in the system.
p=p'
pa+pb = pa'+pb'
(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')
- ma = mass of object A (kg) = 1,783 kg
- mb = mass of object B (kg) = 1,600 kg
- va = speed of object A before collides (m/s)
- va' = speed of object A after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
- vb = speed of object B before collides (m/s) = 0 m/s
- vb' = speed of object B after collides (m/s) = 8 m/s
- p = momentum before collision (Ns)
- p' = momentum after collision (Ns)
(ma×va) + (mb×vb) = (ma×va') + (mb×vb')
(1,783×va) + (1,600×0) = (1,783×8) + (1,600×8)
(1,783×va) + 0 = 14,264+12,800
(1,783×va) = 27,064

va = 15.18 m/s
