The mechanical energy isn't conserved. Some energy is lost to friction.
Option A.
<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The mechanical energy is defined as the energy of a body which it achieves by virtue of its position and velocity. The mechanical energy are of two types - potential energy and kinetic energy. The potential energy is the energy of the body which it achieves by means of its relative position and is directly proportional to the height of the body from its relative plane. Whereas the kinetic energy of the body is achieved by virtue of its velocity and is directly proportional to the square of velocity of the body.
As the mountaineer is skiing down the slope of a mountain, the potential energy of the person is gradually changing into his kinetic energy. Had it been in an ideal situation, the potential energy lost would have been just equal to the kinetic energy gained by the person. But there's friction which opposes the speed of the body and reduces the velocity. Thus the kinetic energy will be lost to some extent and the energy won't be conserved.
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
The solution for this problem is:
Let u denote speed.
Equating momentum before and after collision:
= 0.060 * 40 = (1.5 + 0.060) u
= 2.4 = 1.56 u
= 2.4 / 1.56 = 1.56 u / 1.56
= 1.6 m / s is the answer for this question. This is the speed after the collision.
A will be the fastest and c the slowest because of the dip it has a is a straight line fastest way to get from a to b is a straight line b is the second fastest and d is last
