Answer:
v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s
Explanation:
This is an exercise of conservation of the momentum, for this we must define a system formed by the two balls, so that the forces during the collision have internal and the momentum is conserved
initial. Before the crash
p₀ = m v₁₀
final. After the crash
= m
+ m v_{2f}
Recall that velocities are a vector so it has x and y components
p₀ = p_{f}
we write this equation for each axis
X axis
m v₁₀ = m v_{1fx} + m v_{2fx}
Y Axis
0 = -m v_{1fy} + m v_{2fy}
the exercise tells us the initial velocity v₁₀ = 1.83 m / s, the final velocity v_{2f} = 1.15, let's use trigonometry to find its components
sin 23.3 = v_{2fy} / v_{2f}
cos 23.3 = v_{2fx} / v_{2f}
v_{2fy} = v_{2f} sin 23.3
v_{2fx} = v_{2f} cos 23.3
we substitute in the momentum conservation equation
m v₁₀ = m v_{1f} cos θ + m v_{2f} cos 23.3
0 = - m v_{1f} sin θ + m v_{2f} sin 23.3
1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.15 cos 23.3
0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 1.15 sin 23.3
1.83 = v_{1f} cos θ + 1.0562
0 = - v_{1f} sin θ + 0.4549
v_{1f} sin θ = 0.4549
v_{1f} cos θ = -0.7738
we divide these two equations
tan θ = - 0.5878
θ = tan-1 (-0.5878)
θ = -30.45º
we substitute in one of the two and find the final velocity of the incident ball
v_{1f} cos (-30.45) = - 0.7738
v_{1f} = -0.7738 / cos 30.45
v_{1f} = -0.8976 m / s
the component and this speed is
v_{1fy} = v1f sin θ
v_{1fy} = 0.8976 sin (30.45)
v_{1fy} = - 0.4549 m / s
At the point of maximum displacement (a), the elastic potential energy of the spring is maximum:
while the kinetic energy is zero, because at the maximum displacement the mass is stationary, so its velocity is zero:
And the total energy of the system is
Viceversa, when the mass reaches the equilibrium position, the elastic potential energy is zero because the displacement x is zero:
while the mass is moving at speed v, and therefore the kinetic energy is
And the total energy is
For the law of conservation of energy, the total energy must be conserved, therefore
. So we can write
that we can solve to find an expression for v:
