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}

Which electromagnetic waves has the highest energy?How do you know?
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Gamma Rays

Explanation:

Gamma rays have the highest energies the shortest wavelengths and the highest frequencies. They have the highest energies because they have the highest frequencies, the higher the frequency the more energy. ( I think, maybe double check with other answers )

Good Luck :)

How many normal modes of oscillation or natural frequencies does each if the following have: (
Vadim26 [7]
<span>Each of these systems has exactly one degree of freedom and hence only one natural frequency obtained by solving the differential equation describing the respective motions. For the case of the simple pendulum of length L the governing differential equation is d^2x/dt^2 = - gx/L with the natural frequency f = 1/(2π) √(g/L). For the mass-spring system the governing differential equation is m d^2x/dt^2 = - kx (k is the spring constant) with the natural frequency ω = √(k/m). Note that the normal modes are also called resonant modes; the Wikipedia article below solves the problem for a system of two masses and two springs to obtain two normal modes of oscillation.</span>

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

Part a) \frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}

Part b) \frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}

Explanation:

Part a) what is its frequency, in rev/s

we have that

An old-fashioned LP record rotates at 33 1/3 RPM

so

33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}

Convert mixed number to an improper fraction

33\frac{1}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{33*3+1}{3}=\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}

Remember that

1\ min=60\ sec

Convert rev/min to rev/sec

\frac{100}{3}\ \frac{rev}{min}=\frac{100}{3}(\frac{1}{60})=\frac{100}{180}\ \frac{rev}{sec}

Simplify

\frac{5}{9}\ \frac{rev}{sec}

Part b) what is it period, in seconds

we know that

The period is the reciprocal of the frequency

therefore

the frequency is

\frac{9}{5}\ \frac{sec}{rev}

Gravitational energy can be negative?
AlladinOne [14]

answer:

yes

explanation:

At a separation of the surface of Earth (r=6400km) gravity wants pull the test mass closer and closer. ... So the work done by gravity is NEGATIVE. The gravitational potential energy is negative because us trying to do the opposite of what gravity wants needs positive energy.
