Answer:
Explanation:
Two identical bodies are sliding toward each other on a frictionless surface.
Initial speed of body 1, m₁ = 1 m/s
Initial speed of body 2, m₂ = 2 m/s
They collide and stick.
We need to find the speed of the combined mass. Let V is the speed of the combined mass.
Using the conservation of momentum.
We have, m₁ = m₂ = m
So, the speed of the combined mass is .
The question is incomplete. The complete question is :
Consider a composite cube made of epoxy with fibers aligned along one axis of the cube (the fibers are parallel to four of the twelve cube edges). If the cube can only be loaded in axial tension such that the force is uniformly applied over - and is normal to - a cube face, what is the lowest possible positive length change the cube can experience under this tension? The applied tensile force is 102 KN. The unloaded cube edge length is 56 mm. The glass fibers have an elastic modulus of 200 GPa. The epoxy has an elastic modulus of 38 GPa. The cube is comprised of 18 vol% epoxy (the balancing vol % is glass fiber). Hint: The loading axis is intentionally unspecified. Answer Format: Lowest possible length increase (change of length) under tension.
Solution :
Given :
= 200 GPa
= 38 GPa
Edge length = 56 mm
Cube is loaded in axial tension such that the force is uniformly applied over a cube face.
GPa
Applied stress
= 32.5 MPa
By Hooke's law
Length change,
= 0.016 mm
