A man of mass m 1 5 70.0 kg is skating at v1 5 8.00 m/s behind his wife of mass m 2 5 50.0 kg, who is skating at v2 5 4.00 m/s.

Instead of passing her, he inadvertently collides with her. He grabs her around the waist, and they maintain their balance. (a) Sketch the problem with before - and - after diagrams, representing the skaters as blocks. (b) Is the collision best described as elastic, inelastic, or perfectly inelastic? Why? (c) Write the general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf . (d) Solve the momentum equation for vf . (e) Substitute values, obtaining the numerical value for vf , their speed after the collision.

Answer:

A. Kindly find attached free body diagram for your reference (smiles I guess I will make a terrible artist)

B. The collision is inelastic because both the husband and the wife moved together with same velocity as he grabs her on the waist

C. The general equation for conservation of momentum in terms of m 1, v 1, m 2, v 2, and final velocity vf

Say mass of husband is m1

Mass of the wife is m2

Velocity of the husband is v1

Velocity of the wife is v2

According to the conservation of momentum principle momentum before impact m1v1+m2v2 =momentum after impact Common velocity after impact (m1+m2)vf

The momentum equation is

m1v1+m2v2= (m1+m2)vf

D. To solve for vf we need to make it subject of formula

vf= {(m1v1) +(m2v2)}/(m1+m2)

E. Substituting our given data

vf=

{(1570*58)+(2550*54)}/(1570+2558)

vf=91060+137700/4120

vf=228760/4120

vf=55.52m/s

Their speed after collision is 55.52m/s

Find the net force and acceleration. 15 points. Will give brainliest!
gladu [14]

Answer:

\boxed{F_{net} = 28.7 \ N}

\boxed{a = 2.1 \ m/s^2}

Explanation:

<u><em>Finding the net force:</em></u>

<u><em>Firstly , we'll find force of Friction:</em></u>

F_{k} = (micro)_{k}mg

Where (micro)_{k} is the coefficient of friction and m = 13.6 kg

F_{k} = (0.16)(13.6)(9.8)\\

F_{k} = 21.32 \ N

<u><em>Now, Finding the net force:</em></u>

F_{net} = F - F_{k}\\F_{net} = 50 - 21.32\\

F_{net} = 28.7 \ N

<u><em>Finding Acceleration:</em></u>

a = \frac{F_{net}}{m}

a = \frac{28.7}{13.6}

a = 2.1 \ m/s^2

Bob and John are pulling in different directions. If Bob is pulling to the right with a force of 10N, and John is pulling to the
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

The net force on the box is 2 N to the left.

The box will move to the left.

The acceleration on the box is 0.5 m/s^2 to the left.

Explanation:

Let's say movement to the right is positive and left is negative.

Bob: +10 N

John: -12 N

Add those together and you get a net force of -2 N, and the negative sign means that the box is moving to the left.

For the acceleration:

Fnet = ma

-2 = (4 kg)a

a = -0.5 m/s^2

Again, the negative sign in this answer means the box is being accelerated to the left.
