A puck of mass 0.70 kg approaches a second, identical puck that is stationary on frictionless ice. The initial speed of the movi

ng puck is 6.0 m/s. After the collision, one puck leaves with a speed v1 at 30° to the original line of motion. The second puck leaves with speed v2 at 60°. Calculate v1 and v2.

Answer:

  • v_1  =  \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}
  • v_2 =  3 \frac{m}{s}

Explanation:

For this problem, we just need to remember conservation of momentum, as there are no external forces in the horizontal direction:

\vec{p}_i = \vec{p}_f

where the suffix i  means initial, and the suffix f means final.

The initial momentum will be:

\vec{p}_i = m_1 \ \vec{v}_{1_i} + m_2 \ \vec{v}_{2_i}

as the second puck is initially at rest:

\vec{v}_{2_i} = 0

Using the unit vector \vec{i} pointing in the original line of motion:

\vec{v}_{1_i} = 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \hat{i}

\vec{p}_i = 0.70 \ kg  \ 6.0 \frac{m}{s} \ \hat{i} + 0.70 \ kg \ 0

\vec{p}_i = 4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}

So:

\vec{p}_i =  4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = \vec{p}_f

\vec{p}_f =  4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i}

Knowing the magnitude and directions relative to the x axis, we can find Cartesian representation of the vectors using the formula

\ \vec{A} = | \vec{A} | \ ( \ cos(\theta) \ , \ sin (\theta) \ )

So, our velocity vectors will be:

\vec{v}_{1_f} = v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )

\vec{v}_{2_f} = v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )

We got

\vec{p}_f = 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{1_f} + 0.7 \ kg \ \vec{v}_{2_f}

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s} \ \hat{i} = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \ ( \ cos(30 \°) \ , \ sin (30 \°) \ )  + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \ ( \ cos(-60 \°) \ , \ sin (-60 \°) \ )

So, we got the equations:

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}  = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \  cos(-60 \°)

and

0  = 0.7 \ kg \   v_1 \  sin(30 \°) + 0.7 \ kg \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°).

From the last one, we get:

0  = 0.7 \ kg \  ( v_1 \  sin(30 \°) +  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°) )

0  =  v_1 \  sin(30 \°) +  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°)

v_1 \  sin(30 \°) = -  \ v_2 \  sin(-60 \°)

v_1  =  \ v_2 \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }

and, for the first one:

4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}  = 0.7 \ kg  \ (  v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°) )

\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} =    v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

\frac{4.2 \ \frac{kg \ m}{s}}{ 0.7 \ kg} =    v_1 \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} =    (\ v_2 \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \  cos(30 \°) + v_2 \  cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2     (\   \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) } ) \  cos(30 \°) +   cos(60 \°)

6 \ \frac{m}{s} = v_2  * 2

so:

v_2 = 6 \ \frac{m}{s} / 2 = 3 \frac{m}{s}

and

v_1  =  \ 3 \frac{m}{s}  \  \frac{sin(60 \°)}{ sin(30 \°) }

v_1  =  \ 5.196 \frac{m}{s}

What is the new volume of the gas if the pressure on 350 L of oxygen
Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

420 L

Explanation:

Applying Boyle's Law,

PV = P'V'.................... Equation 1

Where P = Initial pressure, P' = Final pressure, V = Initial volume, V' = Final volume.

make V' the subject of the equation

V' = PV/P'.................... Equation 2

From the question,

Given: P = 720 mmHg, V = 350 L, P' = 600 mmHg

Substitute these values into equation 2

V' = (720×350)/600

V' = 252000/600

V' = 420 L
