How can you observe the law of conservation of energy in action at the skatepark?

Physics
1 answer:
ivann1987 [24]3 years ago
3 0

Explanation:

When the skater is dropped onto the ramp from above, the potential energy decreases and the kinetic energy increases.

Every time the skater bounces from the impact, thermal energy is gained, and both potential and kinetic energy are lost.

A hovering mosquito is hit by a raindrop that is 50 times as massive and falling at 8.4 m/s, a typical raindrop speed. How fast
kenny6666 [7]

The final velocity after the collision is 8.2 m/s

Explanation:

We can solve this problem by using the law of conservation of momentum: in fact, if we consider the system to be isolated (=no external unbalanced forces), the total momentum of the raindrop+mosquito must be conserved before and after the collision.

If the collision is perfectly inelastic, moreover, the raindrop and the mosquito stick together and travel at the same velocity v after the collision.

Mathematically:

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

where:  

m_1 is the mass of the first mosquito

u_1 = 0 is the initial velocity of the mosquito

m_2 = 50 m_1 is the mass of the raindrop

u_2 = 8.4 m/s is the initial velocity of the raindrop

v is the final combined velocity of the raindrop+mosquito

Re-arranging the equation and substituting, we find:  

m_1 u_1 + 50 m_1 u_2 = (m_1 + 50 m_1) v\\50 m_1 u_2 = 51 m_1 v\\50 u_2 = 51 v\\v=\frac{50}{51}u_2 = \frac{50}{51}(8.4)=8.2 m/s
